SUMMARY:“Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol” at NC Stage
DESCRIPTION:Jacob Marley is dead — and things are about to get worse.\nShackled\, miserable\, and tormented by a hell-sprite who is far too enthusiastic about his work\, Marley faces an eternity of exactly what he deserves. Unless\, of course\, he can do something about Ebenezer Scrooge. In this re-imagining of the classic Christmas Carol story\, the ghost gets his own journey — and it turns out redemption is just as hard to come by on the other side of the grave as it is on this one. Tom Mula’s Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol is a clever\, moving\, and enjoyable holiday journey for audiences of all ages. \nAll Tickets for this Show are on a Sliding Scale!\nChoose Your Price from the Following Options: $15\, $25\, $35\, $45\, $55\nWednesdays\, Thursdays\, Saturdays: 7:30pm ; Sundays: 2pm\nFirst Friday (12/4): 7:30pm ; last two Fridays (12/11 & 12/18): 2pm\nAdditional matinees on the last two Saturdays (12/12 & 12/19): 2pm

SUMMARY:The 2026 Christmas YARN Ball
DESCRIPTION:STANDING ROOM ONLY \nYARN\nYou might expect a band that calls itself Yarn to\, naturally\, tend to spin a yarn or two. “That’s what we do\, we tell stories\, live and in the studio\, truth and fiction”\,singer/songwriter Blake Christiana insists. “We don’t always opt for consistency. There’s a different vibe onstage from what comes through in our recordings. There’s a difference in every show as well\, you never know what you’re going to get.” \nYarn’s ability to persevere ought to come as no great surprise\, especially for a band that spent two years honing their chops during a Monday night residency at the famed Kenny’s Castaway in New York’s Greenwich Village. In effect\, it allowed them to rehearse onstage\, mostly in front of audiences that often ranged in size from five to a hundred people on any given night. 10 studio albums followed — Yarn (2007)\, Empty Pockets (2008)\, Leftovers Part One (2009)\, Come On In (2010)\, Leftovers Part 2 (2011)\, Almost Home (2012)\, Shine the Light On (2013)\, This Is The Year (2016)\, and Lucky 13 parts 1 & 2 (2019). The band then took to the road\, playing upwards of 170 shows a year and sharing stages with such superstars as Dwight Yoakam\, Charlie Daniels\, Railroad Earth\, Marty Stuart\, Allison Krauss\, Leon Russell\, Jim Lauderdale\, Leftover Salmon\, Amos Lee\, The Lumineers and many more. They’ve driven nonstop\, made countless radio station appearances\, driven broken-down RVs and watched as their van caught fire. They’ve paid their dues and then some\, looking forward even as they were forced to glance behind. \nIt’s proof positive that the Brooklyn and Raleigh based band have made their mark\, and in dealing with their emotions\, scars and circumstances\, they find themselves in a position to share those experiences with others who have juggled similar sentiments.
