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:Nick Shoulders
DESCRIPTION:STANDING ROOM ONLY \nNICK SHOULDERS\nRefugia Blues\, the fifth album from songwriter Nick Shoulders\, is a record of big ideas and small\, intimate moments. Rooted in the acoustic stylings of Southern traditional music\, it finds the Arkansas native turning off his amp and stepping up to a ribbon microphone as a solo performer\, singing in a voice that’s equal parts country croon\, Appalachian yodel\, and high-lonesome field holler. Shoulders’ interpretation of American roots music has always been more progressive and punky than the trucks-and-beers conservatism that passes for modern-day country\, and Refugia Blues offers songs about climate collapse\, radical anthropology\, and generative disruption. It balances the macro with the micro\, too\, making room for love songs and personal topics\, packaging humor alongside heavy insights. At once academic and accessible\, Refugia Blues isn’t just a deep dive into southernness\, but also into Shoulders himself. This is a raw\, resolute version of American country music\, stacked high with songs that go down easy but linger in the minds of those willing to invest the time.

SUMMARY:AJ Lee & Blue Summit w/ The Cody Sisters
DESCRIPTION:STANDING ROOM ONLY \nAJ LEE & BLUE SUMMIT\nAJ Lee & Blue Summit are an award-winning energetic\, charming\, and technically jaw-dropping band quickly rising on the national roots music scene. Based in Santa Cruz\, California\, the group met as teenagers\, picking and jamming together as kids at local music festivals and jams until one day\, they decided they would be a band. \n“Our roots go really deep\,” explains de facto band leader Lee. “We met when we were young kids… We definitely decided to choose each other as a chosen family band later on in life\, but in a lot of ways it was naturally just like that in the beginning.” \n“It was like one of those late at night things\,” she continued. “We were sitting on a trailer at Grass Valley” at the annual Father’s Day Bluegrass Festival held in the Sierra Nevada foothills – “Someone said\, ‘All of us right here\, we’re a band now.’ We kind of didn’t take it seriously\, but we were like\, okay\, we’ll be a band!” \nTHE CODY SISTERS \nThe Cody Sisters band is the very heart of contemporary acoustic Folk and Bluegrass in Colorado\, the United States\, and the UK. Their propulsive instrumental solos and warm harmonies combine to grip the listener. Along with bass player Will Pavilonis\, sisters Megan (guitar\, mandolin\, vocals) and Maddie (guitar\, banjo\, vocals) have forged a new sound that has no equivalent match in the acoustic world today. \nIn May of 2023\, The Cody Sisters released their self-titled EP marking a new beginning for the band. It is their first release since parting ways with their former image of “young girls in a family band” and it portrays a sense of maturity and musical understanding that reveals a new dimension to their artistic expression. They set out to explore new sounds and styles while still holding true to their Bluegrass roots\, and they have done just that. This new music is an invitation to connect\, to feel\, and to journey together through original lyrics and captivating instrumental arrangements. \nWith their brand-new Archipelago\, The Cody Sisters contineu to refine and explore a sound that is original\, exhilarating\, and heartwarming all at the same time. With strong ties to traditional American acoustic music\, they continue to stun their audiences both in the U.S. and abroad.
