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.

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:Margaret Curtis: Mental Notes
DESCRIPTION:The works included in this exhibition span over a decade and focus on themes of climate change\, societal decay\, and apocalyptic dread. With distinct wit and craftsmanship\, Curtis addresses these universal threats from a deeply personal perspective. \nThe work\, Spot Fire and Flash Flood\, is informed by the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon wildfire of 2022\, which significantly altered the landscape near her second home of Las Vegas\, New Mexico. Additionally\, three works from her series Burning Bridges addresses related themes of destruction by fire and flood following the impact of Hurricane Helene on Western North Carolina. \nAlso included are a series of monoprints entitled Earth Ear\, in these images\, Curtis invites us to consider whether an earth-based intelligence or consciousness exists.  Rounding out the exhibition are several works from her Auriferous\, Emotional Cartographies and Weapons of War series\, which explore journalistic sensationalism\, political division and our Nation’s culture of violence. Lastly\, several of Curtis’ sketchbooks will be on display.

SUMMARY:Intermediate Block Printing: Create Your own Gift Wrap
DESCRIPTION:This is a TWO SESSION Workshop. Attendees will need to attend BOTH sessions.\nSession 1: Friday December 11th\, 6pm-8pm.\nSession 2: Wednesday December 16th\, 6pm-8pm \nCarve\, ink\, and print your way through this two-session deep dive into linoleum block printing. In the first session\, you’ll learn the full arc of block carving — from composition and design to techniques for creating expressive lines and textures. Then you’ll take the skills you learned and work on your block at home before the second session\, with tools provided to take with you. \nIn the second session\, you’ll bring your block to life to make your own block printed wrapping paper. Participants will learn the ins and outs of hand printing — working with patterns and tessellations to make a beautiful gift wrap to take home. Expect to take home several yards of paper and the ability to create infinitely more at home! \nThis course is intended to demystify the process of block printing. We aim to empower participants to build upon the skills learned and hone their own creative approach to the craft both in class and at home.
