SUMMARY:Sister Act - Flat Rock Playhouse - 10/2-10/25
DESCRIPTION:When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a crime\, she hides out in the last place anyone would look — a convent. Suddenly\, the sequins are swapped for habits\, and the nightclub turns into a nave. But when Deloris brings her unholy amount of soul to the choir loft\, heaven gets a whole new groove. \nSister Act is a holy-rolling\, soul-lifting celebration of sisterhood\, second chances\, and songs that raise the roof. As Deloris helps the sisters find their voices\, they just might change her heart in return. \nPart divine comedy\, part disco revival\, it’s proof that a little funk — and a lot of faith — can turn any sanctuary into a showstopper. \nEvent Times: 2:00 PM & 7:30 PM

SUMMARY:"Misery" at NC Stage
DESCRIPTION:Paul Sheldon has survived the crash — but he’s not sure that’s a good thing. \nRescued from a Colorado snowbank by his self-proclaimed number one fan\, the bestselling romance novelist finds himself bedridden and dependent on Annie Wilkes\, a devoted reader who offers to nurse Paul back to health. When Annie discovers that Paul has killed off her favorite character in his latest manuscript\, his situation goes from dire to something much worse. Based on Stephen King’s novel and adapted for the stage by William Goldman\, Misery is a white-knuckle battle of wills between a captive and his captor…and a darkly funny question about what we owe the people who love our work. \nRegular Adult Tickets: $27-$54 (depending on chosen seat) \nStudent Tickets: $15 (18 and under/ college and graduate students with student ID) \nWednesdays\, Thursdays\, Saturdays: 7:30pm ; Sundays: 2pm  \nFirst Friday (10/16): 7:30pm ; last two Fridays (10/23 & 10/30): 2pm \nAdditional matinees on the last two Saturdays (10/24 & 10/31): 2pm \nOpening Week “Choose Your Price” Nights: October 14th – 16th

SUMMARY:VINTAGE PHOTO EFFECTS IN ENCAUSTIC with Bridget Benton
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve been wanting to add moody effects to your photography\, or combine photos and encaustic\, this is a great one-day\, beginner-friendly intro! Bridget will supply images in class for you to use already printed with archival inks on encaustic-friendly paper\, so no need to bring anything!  \nBridget will share her favorite method for mounting photographs on cradled wood panels\, as well as the step-by-step method she uses to layer colored pencil\, watercolor\, encaustic medium\, oil paint\, and pan pastels to bring the images to life. The effect is a lot like a wonderful\, vintage\, hand-tinted photograph! Add collage elements and textured encaustic paint into the encaustic\, and the results can be quirky\, energetic\, and much more modern!  \nStudents will have an opportunity to work with two images\, one sized for an 8×8 panel and one sized for an 8×10 panel. Students will be able to choose from a variety of black and white or sepia-toned “found ancestor” portraits\, landscapes\, and more.  \nWant to use your own images? Bridget will reach out a few weeks before class\, and for an extra fee\, students with digital photo experience can send two images to Bridget for formatting and printing. \nStudents will come away with two completed pieces\, as well as information on how to print and work with their own images to create “encaustic photo effects” in their own home studios. Participants will also receive basic instruction on safety and as well as techniques for working with encaustic medium and encaustic collage.

SUMMARY:Josiah and the Bonnevilles
DESCRIPTION:STANDING ROOM ONLY \nJOSIAH AND THE BONNEVILLES\nJosiah and the Bonnevilles is led by East Tennessee native Josiah Leming. A singer\, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist\, he began self producing his own music in 2016. He has varied between having a band and playing solo. He has become known for raw emotion and a profound connection to his audience\, which for his solo years took on the name of “The Bonnevilles”. 2024 saw Josiah and the Bonnevilles reaching new heights\, completing a headlining tour of thirty-three sold-out dates followed by a slew of international stops that proved his global following. After taking 2025 away from the public eye to work on new music\, 2026 brought the 4th JATB album “As Is’ and the accompaniment of a stellar cast of musicians both in studio and and stage.\nLeming comes by his empathy for working people honestly. He’s one of nine siblings\, born and raised in Morristown\, Tennessee\, right in the heart of Appalachia. His father was a factory worker. He taught himself piano when he was eight and was writing songs by thirteen. As a child he was intently aware of his community and intensely proud of his people\, something he thinks about even more in trying times. “Being a regular person\, working\, trying your best. I think that’s something to be proud of.
