SUMMARY:Slow Runner + Moon Bride
DESCRIPTION:Slow Runner celebrates the release of Yesterday Don’t Fail Me Now on Friday\, January 24th. 7 p.m. doors\, 8 p.m. show. $15 advance / $18 at the door. Moon Bride opens! \nSlow Runner is the creation of Michael Flynn\, an Americana-adjacent singer-songwriter based in Western North Carolina. Michael was the 2021 NewSong Music Songwriting Competition Grand Prize Winner; part of his prize package included recording an album at Citizen Studios with producer Gar Ragland. The record\, which was also pressed at Citizen Vinyl\, was released on all platforms on October 11. \nIndie-pop artist Moon Bride (formerly Carly Taich)\, writes about doubt\, faith\, fear and love in a way that’s anything but cliche. Framing her self-aware lyrics with cinematic orchestration and unusual melodies that take us to another dimension\, there is a storybook mysticism to all Moon Bride touches\, with one foot planted in this reality.

SUMMARY:Buckskin Sewing: Tiny Treasures Bag
DESCRIPTION:Join practical crafting and hide-tanning expert Rain Hall to design and sew your very own buckskin drawstring bag to keep your especially small somethings somewhere truly special!  \nBuckskin is a specific type of natural hide tanning process. The finished material is softer and has more stretchy tendencies than true leather\, making it perfect for small\, soft design. Buckskin also has a distinct campfire-like smell from the process of “smoking the hide”\, which will give your treasures a truly beautiful and unique home. By using our hands and working with tanned animal skins to craft something useful and beautiful\, we grow our connection to the natural world that sustains us. Deer hides and other animal skins and hides are often seen as byproducts and discarded. In celebrating the potential of hides tanned and all their uses\, we can see past this waste culture and offer a different narrative – even in the smallest things.  \nGet ready to learn all about crafting with buckskin\, practice creating your own design\, and to sew your new pouch alongside a group of fellow tiny-treasure enthusiasts! In this workshop.

SUMMARY:The Art of Fiber and Textiles Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Art League is proud to present “The Art of Fiber and Textiles\,” an exhibition that showcases the innovative spirit and enduring traditions of these versatile mediums. The Art League has invited artists from Local Cloth to participate in this special exhibit giving our community an opportunity to view a wide variety of material and design. The Art League was fortunate to escape significant damage from Hurricane Helene\, but Local Cloth was almost completely destroyed by flood waters and debris\, which knocked out their front door and windows and rose inside the walls to more than 10 feet. \n    The exhibit will run from February 1\, 2025 to February 21\, 2025 at The Art Place gallery\, offering visitors a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of ancient traditions and contemporary artistry.  An opening reception will provide an opportunity for visitors to meet the artists on February 1\, 2025 from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. \n    The exhibition aims to highlight works rooted in traditional fiber materials\, structures\, processes\, and history\, while also celebrating pieces that push the boundaries of fiber art by exploring unexpected relationships with other creative disciplines. From felted sculptures to intricate embroidery and multimedia assemblages\, “Material Wealth” presents fiber art as a dynamic and evolving creative expression. \n    The exhibit is open to the following including derivations and combinations of materials:\nFelting: A process that compresses fibers into dense\, durable fabrics or sculptures.\nQuilting: Layering and stitching fabrics to create intricate patterns and textures.\nWeaving: Crafting textiles by interlacing threads in structured patterns.\nEmbroidery: Ornamental stitching that adds detail and narrative to fabrics.\nLace Making: Creating delicate patterns by looping and twisting threads.\nPaper-making: Transforming fibrous materials into handcrafted sheets.\nMixed Media Assemblages: Integrating fiber with other materials for multidimensional works.

SUMMARY:Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Director: Victoria Lamberth \nApproximate Run Time: 2 hours\, 5 minutes\nRating: PG-13 due to adult language and situations. Conversations addressing prejudice\, racism\, and bigotry. \nA progressive white couple’s proud liberal sensibilities are tested when their daughter brings her black fiance home to meet them in this fresh and relevant stage adaptation of the iconic film Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. Blindsided by their daughter’s whirlwind romance and fearful for her future\, Matt and Christina Drayton quickly realize the difference between supporting a mixed-race couple in your newspaper and welcoming one into your family–especially in 1967. But they’re surprised to find they aren’t the only ones concerned about the match\, and it’s only a short time before a multi-family clash of racial and generational difference sweeps across the Draytons’ idyllic San Francisco terrace. Will the love between young Joanna and John prevail? With humor and insight\, Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner begins a conversation sure to continue at dinner tables long after the curtain comes down. \nThe cast of Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner: \nKip Brown – Monsignor Ryan \nNatasha Charles* – Mary Prentice \nRixa Clark* – Joanna Drayton \nPamela Flasch* – Christina Drayton \nSarah Leatham – Hilary St. George \nRonnie Pepper – John Prentice\, Sr. \nDoug Sparks – Matt Drayton \nRowena Strong* – Tillie \nElijah York – Dr. John Prentice \n*Making their Hendersonville Theatre debut

DESCRIPTION:Director: Victoria Lamberth \nApproximate Run Time: 2 hours\, 5 minutes\nRating: PG-13 due to adult language and situations. Conversations addressing prejudice\, racism\, and bigotry. \nA progressive white couple’s proud liberal sensibilities are tested when their daughter brings her black fiance home to meet them in this fresh and relevant stage adaptation of the iconic film Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. Blindsided by their daughter’s whirlwind romance and fearful for her future\, Matt and Christina Drayton quickly realize the difference between supporting a mixed-race couple in your newspaper and welcoming one into your family–especially in 1967. But they’re surprised to find they aren’t the only ones concerned about the match\, and it’s only a short time before a multi-family clash of racial and generational difference sweeps across the Draytons’ idyllic San Francisco terrace. Will the love between young Joanna and John prevail? With humor and insight\, Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner begins a conversation sure to continue at dinner tables long after the curtain comes down. \nThe cast of Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner: \nKip Brown – Monsignor Ryan \nNatasha Charles* – Mary Prentice \nRixa Clark* – Joanna Drayton \nPamela Flasch* – Christina Drayton \nSarah Leatham – Hilary St. George \nRonnie Pepper – John Prentice\, Sr. \nDoug Sparks – Matt Drayton \nRowena Strong* – Tillie \nElijah York – Dr. John Prentice \n*Making their Hendersonville Theatre debut
