SUMMARY:Spirited Improv Performance
DESCRIPTION:What happens when a room full of humans walk on stage with no script… and only Love guiding the moment? Come witness the magic of a Spirited Improv Performance. \nA Spirited Improv performance is unlike anything you’ve ever witnessed. More than entertainment\, Spirited Improv is an enlivening emergent experience of collective creativity. It’s an improvisational showcase of the human spirit at play with invitations into music-making\, dance\, singing\, acting\, costumed silliness\, story-telling\, and ritual that deeply nourish the heart and soul. It offers a warm\, playful\, and safe container where laughter\, tears\, and connection flow freely. \nImagine entering a space where performers have no script\, no plan\, just a deep trust in Love\, in each other\, and in the creative aliveness of the moment. As an audience member\, you are not just a passive witness; rather\, you are part of the alchemy. You are invited to release judgment and practice radical acceptance of yourself and each human in the room\, creating an encouraging play space for all. Whether you choose to simply offer your loving presence\, share a prompt\, tell a story\, or step onto stage\, you’re woven into the collective experience. What unfolds is spontaneous and sacred\, hilarious and healing\, shaped by the energy of Love in the room guiding it all. \nA past audience member said\, “Your spiritual improv was like going to a restaurant for the first time\, and having one of the best meals of my life. I LOVED IT and was so grateful to have that unique experience of connection and healing.”

SUMMARY:FILM SCREENING: Taking Venice (2024)
DESCRIPTION:This 2024 documentary tells the story of the 1964 Venice Biennale. A cast of influential figures—Alice Denney\, Washington insider; Alan Solomon\, ambitious curator; and Leo Castelli\, a powerful New York art dealer—embark on a daring plan to make American artist Robert Rauschenberg the winner of the Grand Prize. Their deft maneuvers leave the international press crying foul and Rauschenberg questioning the politics of nationalism that sent him to Venice in the first place. \nJoin us for this free screening\, presented in partnership with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation in conjunction with BMCM+AC’s current exhibition\, Points in Space: Performance at Black Mountain College. \nAbout the film:\nAt the height of the Cold War\, the U.S. government is determined to fight Communism with culture. The Venice Biennale\, the world’s most influential art exhibition\, becomes a proving ground in 1964. Alice Denney\, Washington insider and friend of the Kennedys\, recommends Alan Solomon\, an ambitious curator making waves with trailblazing art\, to organize the U.S. entry. Together with Leo Castelli\, a powerful New York art dealer\, they embark on a daring plan to make Robert Rauschenberg the winner of the Grand Prize. The artist is yet to be taken seriously with his combinations of junk off the street and images from pop culture\, but he has the potential to dazzle. Deftly pulling off maneuvers that could have come from a Hollywood thriller\, the American team leaves the international press crying foul and Rauschenberg questioning the politics of nationalism that sent him there.

SUMMARY:Random Act Productions Presents "A Christmas Carol" at NC Stage
DESCRIPTION:Join us at NC Stage for Random Act Productions’ “A Christmas Carol: A Play With Music” December 11th – December 21st \nExperience Charles Dickens’ A CHRISTMAS CAROL the way it was intended. \nFrom 1853 to 1870\, Dickens gave public readings of his story\, touring America and Great Britain — even going so far as to develop the characters and voices for his performances. A CHRISTMAS CAROL is a classic story that is meant to be heard and performed in front of audiences of all ages.\nThis adaptation of A CHRISTMAS CAROL stays true to that original intention. Entirely Dickens’ text\, the play is woven throughout with live music as an actor (and his trusty musician) brings all of the characters to life in vivid detail. A story of redemption and the power of the holiday spirit\, it is also a celebration of the theatre\, where virtuosic acting and a commitment to the power of storytelling brings us all closer together — and to the Christmas spirit in all of us. \nWednesday – Saturday: 7:30pm\, Sunday: 2pm\, + additional show Friday the 19th at 2pm \nAll tickets on a sliding scale from $10-$45

SUMMARY:Dashing Through The Snow
DESCRIPTION:By Jessie Jones\, Nicholas Hope\, and Jamie Wooten\nPresented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing\, LLC\, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com) \nDecember 11-21\, 2025 \nThursday\, 12/11 at 7:30 (pay what you can available 11/27)\nFridays at 7:30\nSaturday at 3 pm\nSundays at 3 pm \nDirector: Abigail Dover Thomas \nApproximate Run Time: 2 hours\, 35 minutes\nRating: PG due to adult content and mild language.  \nFour days before Christmas in Tinsel\, Texas\, a colorful parade of eccentric guests arrive at the Snowflake Inn and deck the halls with holiday hilarity. Trina\, the harried yet upbeat innkeeper of this B&B\, has more than she can handle coping with these nuttier-than-a-fruitcake lodgers. Hoyt and his sister\, Donna Jo\, make the mistake of trying to end a thirty-year feud between their curmudgeonly aunts\, Ennis and Della\, with sidesplitting results. Ainsley and Lenora\, self-involved actors from a lower-than-low-budget touring production of A Christmas Carol\, descend on the Inn to fulfill a promise\, leaving comedic chaos in their wake. Add to this Yuletide mayhem an ill-advised romantic rendezvous between Mrs. Claus and one of Santa’s elves. This demanding guest refuses to leave\, not to mention a tipsy housekeeper\, and it will take more than a kiss under the mistletoe to keep Trina’s spirits merry and bright. But a spur-of-the-moment Christmas Eve wedding that brings together the fabulous Futrelle sisters—Honey Raye\, Twink\, Frankie\, and Rhonda Lynn—and their best friend\, Raynerd\, takes a surprising and delightful turn that leads to a laugh-’till-your-sides-ache climax\, changing all their lives forever.

SUMMARY:Dashing Through The Snow
DESCRIPTION:By Jessie Jones\, Nicholas Hope\, and Jamie Wooten\nPresented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing\, LLC\, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com) \nDecember 11-21\, 2025 \nThursday\, 12/11 at 7:30 (pay what you can available 11/27)\nFridays at 7:30\nSaturday at 3 pm\nSundays at 3 pm \nDirector: Abigail Dover Thomas \nApproximate Run Time: 2 hours\, 35 minutes\nRating: PG due to adult content and mild language.  \nFour days before Christmas in Tinsel\, Texas\, a colorful parade of eccentric guests arrive at the Snowflake Inn and deck the halls with holiday hilarity. Trina\, the harried yet upbeat innkeeper of this B&B\, has more than she can handle coping with these nuttier-than-a-fruitcake lodgers. Hoyt and his sister\, Donna Jo\, make the mistake of trying to end a thirty-year feud between their curmudgeonly aunts\, Ennis and Della\, with sidesplitting results. Ainsley and Lenora\, self-involved actors from a lower-than-low-budget touring production of A Christmas Carol\, descend on the Inn to fulfill a promise\, leaving comedic chaos in their wake. Add to this Yuletide mayhem an ill-advised romantic rendezvous between Mrs. Claus and one of Santa’s elves. This demanding guest refuses to leave\, not to mention a tipsy housekeeper\, and it will take more than a kiss under the mistletoe to keep Trina’s spirits merry and bright. But a spur-of-the-moment Christmas Eve wedding that brings together the fabulous Futrelle sisters—Honey Raye\, Twink\, Frankie\, and Rhonda Lynn—and their best friend\, Raynerd\, takes a surprising and delightful turn that leads to a laugh-’till-your-sides-ache climax\, changing all their lives forever.
