SPOKANE, Wash., Sept. 01, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RLHC (Red Lion Hotels Corporation) (NYSE:RLH), is embracing more than fall foliage this season with The Living Stage, the brand’s community centric performance stage. Providing local performers an arena to showcase their creativity to local audiences and Hotel RL guests around the country, the Living Stage is devoted to community and innovation. Scheduled performances and open mic-style sessions provide a venue for people to share their creativity, innovation and to spread awareness about their passions.
“The Living Stage is not only a brand differentiator, but an industry game-changer,” said President and CEO Greg Mount. “It is more than just a stage as it is meant to spark discussion, inspire people to engage and exchange ideas and bring together the thinkers and creatives alike.”

- September 7: Hotel RL Olympia – 7 p.m. - Rebecca Hom: Rebecca Hom never knew she would be a storyteller, but for 25 years the thread of story has connected her with people across the country and six continents.

From grade school assemblies of 600 to quiet campfires of six, rain forest to desert, Rebecca tells stories whenever the time is right.

And that is what Rebecca finds delightful.
