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

SUMMARY:Great Buzz Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Step Into the World of Pollinators at the 6th Annual Great Buzz Gathering! \nImagine a world without vibrant blooms\, flourishing crops\, or thriving wildlife. That’s the reality we face without pollinators—the tiny but mighty creatures essential to life on Earth. On Saturday\, February 15\, you’re invited to the Grey Eagle Music Hall & Pub in Asheville to celebrate these unsung heroes and explore how we can all play a part in their conservation. \nFrom the moment you step through the doors\, you’ll be immersed in a community united by a passion for biodiversity\, native plants\, and protecting pollinators. Whether you’re a seasoned environmentalist or just beginning to appreciate the beauty of bees\, butterflies\, and beyond\, this event offers something for everyone. \nYou’ll enjoy five captivating 10-minute talks from experts on topics like the effects of climate change on pollinators\, the best trees to plant for recovery after Tropical Storm Helene\, and exciting updates on the Asheville Butterfly Trail. Each presentation promises to leave you informed\, inspired\, and ready to take action. \nCome early to explore exhibitor tables filled with resources\, tips\, and tools to make your garden\, neighborhood\, or community a haven for pollinators. Grab a bite or a beverage\, connect with like-minded attendees\, and soak up the buzz of excitement. \nPollinators are more than just insects; they’re the foundation of ecosystems and essential to our survival. Yet\, nearly half of them are at risk of extinction. That’s why Bee City USA\, founded here in Asheville\, has grown to a nationwide movement of 426 affiliates\, all dedicated to safeguarding these vital creatures. \nThis isn’t just another event—it’s a call to action\, a chance to learn\, connect\, and make a tangible impact on the future of our planet. \nSo\, whether you’re passionate about gardening\, fascinated by biodiversity\, or simply curious about how to help\, this is your opportunity to join the movement. Together\, let’s create a world where pollinators—and all life—can thrive. \nDoors open at 12 PM for lunch and networking. The program begins at 1 PM. \nWe can’t wait to see you there!
