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 URL:https://thelaurelofasheville.com/event/sister-act-flat-rock-playhouse-10-2-10-25/ LOCATION:Flat Rock Playhouse\, 2661 Greenville Highway\, Flat Rock\, NC\, 28731\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thelaurelofasheville.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/sisteract.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261015T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261018T170000 DTSTAMP:20260617T012656 CREATED:20260611T111718Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260614T131854Z UID:93695-1792058400-1792342800@thelaurelofasheville.com SUMMARY:Craft Fair of the Southern Highlands DESCRIPTION:This is the biannual flagship event of the Southern Highland Craft Guild\, a nearly 100 year old alliance of fine craftspeople across the 9 states of Southern Appalachia.

He was particularly drawn to the Impressionist paintings and completely captivated by landscape artists like George Inness\, John Singer Sargent\, and all the Hudson River School painters. The way they captured the beauty of nature and the interplay of light and shadow left a lasting impression on me. Today\, his paintings are part of many private collections\, serving as a testament to the enduring power of his vision and commitment to the art of painting.
