A Christmas Memory
2024-12-13 19:30 - 21:00 | Parish House of St. John in the Wilderness, 1905 Greenville Highway, Flat Rock, NC, 28731, United States
Flat Rock, N.C. – Returning to the stage for his sixth straight season at St. John in the Wilderness, actor and theologian E.R. Haire, Jr. will perform Truman Capote’s beloved short story, A Christmas Memory, as a one-man show.
The dates for this year’s performances are Friday, December 13 and Saturday, December 14 at 7:30 pm and Sunday, December 15 at 2:30 pm and 7:30 pm. The shows will be held in the Wilderness Room of the Parish House at 1905 Greenville Highway in Flat Rock, across Rutledge Drive from the Episcopal Church.
“It is once again an honor to bring this classic story to life. I am grateful to the good people of St John in the Wilderness and the greater Flat Rock community and beyond who have supported my efforts as I will be entering my sixth year of performing this wonderful, heartfelt story,” said Dr. Haire.
The show is free to the public but seating is limited to 60 people per performance and RSVP is required. The direct link is http://bit.ly/christmasmemory24 or visit www.stjohnflatrock.org. Face masks are optional.
A Christmas Memory takes place during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Until he was ten years old, Truman Capote lived with elderly relatives in a small town in rural Alabama. The story is an autobiographical account of those years, especially of his relationship with one of the elderly cousins, Miss Sook Faulk.
The greatest examples of Capote’s skillfulness as a writer are found among the stories inspired by his early childhood and the relationships he forged growing up in the rural South.
A Christmas Memory first appeared in Mademoiselle Magazine in the late 1950s, when Capote was 27 years old, and has since become one of his most beloved and bestselling works.
Mr. Capote was a flamboyant figure in both literary and cultural circles. Controversial, colorful and complex, he was a writer of uncommon grace. His best-known works include Breakfast at Tiffany’s, In Cold Blood, Other Voices Other Rooms, and The Grass Harp. Mr. Capote died in 1984 at the age of 59.
Earle Ross (E.R.) Haire, Jr. PhD is a native of North Carolina. His professional achievements combine acting and theology. In Los Angeles, he worked as an actor and at Paramount Studios. Theater credits in Los Angeles include The Foreigner, You Can’t Take It With You, Hamlet, Henry V, Richard III, The Importance of Being Earnest, The Caucasian Chalk Circle, and the comedy spoof Riffs of Shakespeare. Dr. Haire is also a member of the Screen Actors Guild.
Dr. Haire received a Master of Sacred Theology from Yale University, studying at both the Yale Divinity School and the Yale School of Drama. He earned his PhD in Theology and Ethics with a concentration in religion, media and culture at the University of Edinburgh in 2017.
St. John in the Wilderness is located in Flat Rock, NC at 1895 Greenville Highway. Queries may be directed to the church office, (828) 693-9783 or visit www.stjohnflatrock.org.

Embrace Your Shadow & Light: 5Rhythms® Movement and Expressive Arts Workshop!
2024-12-15 11:00 - 18:00 | Asia House828, 119 Coxe Ave., Asheville, NC, 28806
The invitation for this workshop is to discover and uncover the polarities of Shadow and Light Maps created by Gabrielle Roth through movement and Art Expression!
Shadow has a way of showing up in unexpected places and ways. We sometimes feel our heaviness, tension, confusion, distraction, and being numb in our bodies at different times in our lives. In addition, Shadow reveals a part of ourselves that we may want to disown, not accept, or feel uncomfortable.
However, moving through our light offers us a way to be more accepting of our Shadow in being Fluid, beat oriented, letting go, feeling our lightness and listening to what will arrive next. We begin to have and feel compassion for all of our different sides of ourselves. In moving the Shadow and Light, we become aware of our humanness! Having authentic expression in our daily lives can be healing. Shadow is our gravy of essential importance in moving the polarities and finding balance in our lives and bodies!
How is Shadow and Light of service to us to find healing in being
authentic and accept parts of ourselves that we may want to disown?
“Dance is the fastest, most direct route to the truth-not some big truth that belongs to everybody, but the get, down and personal kind the what’s happening in me right now kind of truth!” Gabrielle Roth

Currently, Ella is based out of Asheville, NC where she works as an art therapist in private practice.

All of those that know and work with Ella can feel her passion for the healing properties of nature, art, travel and movement. She approaches her day to day and work-life with a zest for life, a youthful spirit and a contagiously open mind.

PERSPECTIVES: David Silver on The Farm at BMC
2024-12-18 19:00 - 21:00 | Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, 120 College Street, Asheville, North Carolina, 28801
BMCM+AC will host David Silver, co-curator of The Farm at Black Mountain College, for a gallery walk-and-talk alongside a book launch / signing event. Join us for an in-depth look at the Farm story and a celebration of the exhibition. This event is free and open to all.
Built on more than a decade’s worth of deep, original archival research, The Farm at Black Mountain College constitutes a comprehensive new history of Black Mountain College. By focusing on the farm, the exhibition sidesteps the popular paradigm of approaching BMC through its famous faculty and students, and instead offers a new cast of characters, one that includes mostly students, women, and farmers. It spotlights the importance of collaboration, both on campus among students, faculty, and faculty families, and in the community with farmers and organizations in nearby cities and towns. Finally, the exhibition shows what happens when communal living is no longer communal, and offers the first ever detailed account of the fall of the college, a dramatic and often dangerous story.
Presented in BMCM+AC’s lower gallery, the contemporary installation DEER FREAKS…and decoys explores the hyper-natural forces of attraction and repulsion informing our interactions with the landscapes we inhabit. From fence rows to scare-crows, DEER FREAKS documents the creative ways people propagate, shape, lure, and protect in their environments. This multi-media, multi-layered project of Swannatopia responds to the themes of The Farm at Black Mountain College.
