Random Act Productions Presents "A Christmas Carol" at NC Stage
2025-12-11 - 2025-12-14, 2025-12-17 - 2025-12-21 | North Carolina Stage Company, 15 Stage Lane, Asheville, 28801
Join us at NC Stage for Random Act Productions’ “A Christmas Carol: A Play With Music” December 11th – December 21st
Experience Charles Dickens’ A CHRISTMAS CAROL the way it was intended.
From 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.
This 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.
Wednesday – Saturday: 7:30pm, Sunday: 2pm, + additional show Friday the 19th at 2pm
All tickets on a sliding scale from $10-$45

Modelface Comedy presents Sean Patton
2025-12-11 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | AyurPrana Listening Room, 312 Haywood Rd, Asheville, NC, 28806
Modelface Comedy brings you the best comedians from all over the country. This weekend we have Sean Patton at AyurPrana Listening Room in West Asheville!!
Sean Patton is a comedian based in New York, by way of New Orleans. He began doing stand-up in the Crescent City and has since performed in comedy clubs and festivals across the world, including The Melbourne International Comedy Festival, The Glasgow Comedy fest, the Dublin Comedy fest, and The Edinburgh Fringe. Other festivals appearances include SXSW, The Moontower comedy festival, Just for Laughs Chicago, Just for Laughs Toronto and Just for Laughs Montreal. He’s performed on Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Conan, and Comedy Central’s The Half Hour. More recently, He’s been on @midnight , The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail, This Is Not Happening, Showtime’s Live from SXSW, TruTv’s Comedy Knockout, and This week at the Comedy Cellar.
In 2019 he released his second album Scuttlebutt on Helium Records. His next album King Scorpio was released on Christmas Eve 2021 and as a special on Youtube in August 2022. His special Number One is currently streaming on peacock.
As for acting, He’s appeared on IFC’S Maron, Comedy Central’s Inside Amy Schumer and TruTV’s Those who can’t. As of September 2024 He stars alongside Brian Jordan Alvarez, Stephanie Koenig, Enrico Colantoni, and Carmen Christopher in FX’s English Teacher
“I’ve seen him perform more than a dozen sets, and he’s killed every time. He’s dynamite, even with ordinary material, turning standard Brooklyn hipster jokes into a stomping, roaring, tour de force, and elevating a bit about sex-performance anxiety into high-stakes comedy. […] He’s the rare comic who goes over as well in a comedy club as in a bar basement.”
– New York Times
“ …a deceptively mesmeric talent, I found myself watching rapt between fits of eruptive laughter.”
– The Scotsman
“There’s a lot of talk in comedy circles about club acts as opposed to festival ones – reliable joke-machines who can tame the rowdiest rooms compared to the artier, slower-burn types with stories and ideas that demand and reward attention.
Well, in Sean Patton you get both… he’s the sort of comedian who puts the ‘art’ in ‘fart’.”

Four 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.

PERFORMANCE: Johnny Loves Johann – Music and Dance
2025-12-15 19:00 - 20:00 | Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, 120 College Street, Asheville, North Carolina, 28801
PERFORMANCE: Johnny Loves Johann – Music and Dance
With violinist Johnny Gandelsman and choreographers Melissa Toogood and John Heginbotham
Monday, December 15, 2025 at 7PM
Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center {120 College Street}
TICKETS– $15 General Admission / $10 for BMCM+AC members + Students w/ID
Join us Monday, December 15 at BMCM+AC for a one-night-only performance featuring world-renowned violinist Johnny Gandelsman and internationally acclaimed choreographer/dancers John Heginbotham and Melissa Toogood.
In this intimate, museum-scale version of Johnny Loves Johann, Gandelsman will perform Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1 with new choreography by Melissa Toogood and Cello Suite No. 4 with new choreography by John Heginbotham. This unique program offers a powerful glimpse into the larger evening-length work, bringing together music and dance in fresh, unexpected ways. With Gandelsman’s folk- and dance-inspired interpretation at its core, Toogood and Heginbotham infuse Bach’s timeless compositions with humanity, curiosity, and contemporary movement—transforming them into a vibrant celebration of connection and community.
____
About the Program
At its heart, Johnny Loves Johann is a tribute to community – both among the artists themselves and with the audience members who join them on this journey. By inviting these remarkable choreographers to bring their personal and cultural narratives to Bach’s music, the project creates a tapestry of voices and perspectives that reflect the shared human experience.
Bach’s music is often put in the context of order and notions of perfection. While we can enjoy hearing it this way, it can also limit our experience of this music as the celebration of humanity and beautiful opportunity for connection that it is.
Gandelsman’s interpretation of Bach’s Cello Suites is special in its folk music- and dance-like qualities. Building upon that, the Johnny Loves Johann collaborators—each known for visceral, big-hearted art-making—re-visit the suites by leading with their humanity and curiosity.

Known to you as the students who were always the loud kids in the back of the classroom, the Unteachables are a group of stand-up comedians who just happened to fall backwards into educating America’s youth. Their material extends far beyond just the chaos that exists in their classroom.

The Unteachables have been featured on NBC, The Breakfast Club, The New York Post, and the Roast Battle League.

He has headlined clubs such as Zanies, Comedy Works, and Wiseguys, been seen on NBC and Bored Teachers, and has performed at dozens of comedy festivals across the country.
