SUMMARY:Tryon Little Theatre Presents Gypsy
DESCRIPTION:Tryon Little Theater’s big musical of the season\, Gypsy\, will run two weekends — February 28 to March 2\, and March 7 to 9 — at the Tryon Fine Arts Center. The musical’s lyrics are by Stephen Sondheim\, music by Jule Styne\, and book by Arthur Laurents. \nMany consider Gypsy to be one of the greatest American musicals\, with its story loosely based on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee.

Winner of numerous Tony awards\, Drama Desk awards\, and a Laurence Olivier award\, Gypsy features songs including “Let me Entertain You” and “Everything Coming up Roses!” The New York Times described the show as “a wrenching fable … yet also a showcase for one classic song and rousing vaudeville routine after another.” \nTryon Little Theatre’s production is directed by Laura Depta Peal\, alongside music director Pam McNeil. \nTickets are $30 for adults and $15 for those under 18. Tickets can be purchased online at TLTinfo.org\, and by calling 828-859-2466.

SUMMARY:Buffalo Rose at The Grey Eagle
DESCRIPTION:Buffalo Rose\, a wildly charismatic six-piece modern folk/Americana band\, plays an all-ages concert at The Grey Eagle! \nBUFFALO ROSE takes the singer-songwriter tradition to a new level by crafting original songs which are emotive\, meticulously arranged\, and inspired by a world of idiosyncratic influences that never let a dull or predictable moment creep in. \nThis combination of artistry and enthusiasm makes Buffalo Rose one of the most vital and important groups working today. Rather than play the folk music of the past\, the band gleefully combines genres and ideas together to move acoustic music forward to a new\, contemporary place without ever losing sight of its roots. Fans of Lake Street Dive\, Nickel Creek\, and Punch Brothers will find much to like in this crew. Anyone seeking compelling new acoustic music needs to join Buffalo Rose in the future right now.

SUMMARY:Asheville’s International Women’s Day - Unite & Resist
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 8th 2025 – Bring your signs & your voice to the sidewalks in the center of Pack Square Park  at 1 Court Plaza\, Asheville\, NC 28801 \nWomen’s March\nhttps://action.womensmarch.com/events/international-women-s-day-unite-resist-in-city-town-32 \nStarting at 11:00 a.m.\, we will gather to honor the relentless pursuit of justice and equality by women throughout history and protest Trump’s attempt to erase their contributions. \nThe 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote—a monumental step toward gender equality. Yet\, as we stand here in 2025\, we recognize that the journey toward true equality is far from complete. \nIn recent months\, our nation has witnessed a series of actions by President Donald Trump’s administration that threaten to undermine the progress generations of women have fought so hard to achieve. \nWomen Who Paved the Way: \n* Sojourner Truth – American abolitionist and activist for African American civil rights and women’s rights \n* Elizabeth Cady Stanton – Advocate for women’s legal and social equality \n* Susan B. Anthony – Leader of the women’s suffrage movement and social reformer \n* Ida B. Wells-Barnett – Civil rights activist who led a campaign against lynching in the 1890s \n* Cecilia Chung – Civil rights leader and activist for LGBTQ+ rights \n* Peggy Bird\, Darlene Correa\, and Genne James – Founders of the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW) \n* Sylvia Rivera – American transgender rights activist \n* Judy Heumann – American disability rights activist \n* Luisa Moreno – Guatemalan social activist and labor movement participant in the U.S. \n* Grace A. Peterson – First female Chief Master Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force \nThe proposed 8% budget cut to the Pentagon over the next five years\, as reported by The Guardian\, raises concerns about the potential impact on programs that support women in the military. Additionally\, the significant layoffs at the IRS—where over 6\,700 staff members are expected to be dismissed—will disproportionately affect women employed in these roles and hinder services many women rely upon. \nMoreover\, the administration’s executive orders cutting federal benefits for undocumented immigrants not only marginalize vulnerable communities but also disregard the contributions of countless women who are integral to the fabric of our society. These actions reflect a broader pattern of policies that neglect the rights and well-being of women. \nOur response to these challenges must be unwavering. We draw inspiration from the Women’s March on Washington in 2017\, where millions united globally to advocate for women’s rights and social justice. That historic event demonstrated the power of collective action and set the stage for continued resistance against policies that threaten our freedoms. \nOn March 8th\, we must stand in solidarity with all women—transgender\, cisgender\, women of color\, immigrants\, LGBTQ+ individuals\, and those with disabilities. Our diversity is our strength\, and our unity is our power. We must continue to organize\, speak out\, and demand policies that uphold the dignity and rights of every woman \nLet us honor the legacy of those who came before us by recommitting ourselves to the fight for equality. Let us challenge any administration that seeks to roll back our rights. And let us envision a future where every woman has the opportunity to thrive\, free from discrimination and oppression. \nTogether\, we are a force for change. Together\, we will achieve equality.

SUMMARY:Hemlock Treatment Demonstration at the North Carolina Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:The Hemlock Restoration Initiative (HRI) is hosting a demonstration of chemical treatment methods to control the invasive hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) on Friday\, March 14th from 1pm to 4pm at the NC Arboretum\, located at 100 Frederick Law Olmsted Way\, Asheville\, NC. \nHemlock trees in western North Carolina are an important and irreplaceable component of our forests. These trees have been suffering for over two decades from hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA)\, an invasive insect that can kill the tree in as little as four years. \nHowever\, hemlock management is simpler and less expensive than ever before. This hands-off demonstration will be useful for landowners\, natural resource managers and tree care professionals. We will use the trees on-site to practice assessing hemlock health to determine the best treatment options\, and HRI staff will demonstrate the HWA chemical treatment methods used on national forest and state lands. These methods are available to all private landowners in North Carolina without obtaining a license or certification. We will also discuss applicator and environmental safety\, special considerations and guidance for hiring a tree care professional. \nThe program is free to the North Carolina Arboretum members\, but nonmembers will need to pay a $20 entrance fee. Registration is required by Wednesday March 13th. Visit our website for information on how to register. Email education@savehemlocksnc.org or call 828-252-4783 with questions about the event.

SUMMARY:FASHION / PUPPET SHOW: How do we disappear yet still be seen?
DESCRIPTION:The Swannatopia Experimental Art Club will host a FASHION / PUPPET show on Friday\, March 14th at BMCM+AC\, featuring an improvised live scored orchestra\, “river runway\,” and a lineup of wearables exploring the theme: “How can we disappear but still be seen?” \nThis closing party will celebrate the exhibition DEER FREAKS…and decoys\, located downstairs at BMCM+AC. DEER FREAKS…and decoys is a multi-media\, multi-layered project of Swannatopia responding to The Farm at Black Mountain College exhibition. The installation at BMCM+AC 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. \nBring binoculars and sunglasses to participate in “birding” during the show. Wear your finest deer / duck / turkey / moth / forest outfits and accessories. Want to join the runway and become part of this fashion experiment? Reach out to Swannatopia at swannatopia [@] gmail\, or via their Instagram.

SUMMARY:New Belgium Asheville Marathon and Half
DESCRIPTION:The New Belgium Asheville Marathon & Half is back this year with a new perspective\, renewed purpose\, and a story that’s unlike any other. In September\, Hurricane Helene brought devastation to our beloved city in ways we never imagined. For a moment\, we weren’t sure this event could happen. Then\, city officials reached out with a simple yet powerful message: We need running back. And they were right. \nThis year\, the New Belgium Asheville Marathon & Half isn’t just about crossing the finish line; it’s about uniting as locals and visitors to rally around a city that refuses to stay down. The landscape may look a little different\, but the spirit of Asheville shines brighter than ever. Together\, we’ll run through the scars of the storm\, celebrate our vibrant community\, and remind the world what it means to rise stronger in the face of adversity. \nThis is more than a race. This is Asheville’s comeback story. We hope you’ll join us in writing the next chapter.

SUMMARY:Historic Church Tours
DESCRIPTION:Learn about Flat Rock History \nTours of St. John in the Wilderness  \nFLAT ROCK\, N.C.  Tours of the Episcopal Church of St. John in the Wilderness in Flat Rock will resume on March 15.  \nThe guided tours of the church and churchyard (cemetery) are led by church docents.  “One of the joys of attending a beautiful holy place like St. John in the Wilderness is sharing it with our visitors. Our history is intertwined not just with the history of Flat Rock\, but with that of coastal South Carolina\, the home of our founders and earliest congregants\,” said Polly Morrice\, one of the docents leading the tours. \nHeld on the third Saturdays of the month from March through December\, tours start inside the Carriage Door entrance of the Church promptly at 11 a.m. and last about an hour.  Additional tours are held seasonally on the first Saturday of the month from June through September. There will be no rain dates and participants are encouraged to wear comfortable shoes.   \nThe tours are free but advance reservations must be made online through the church’s website\, www.stjohnflatrock.org/tours.  Space is limited for each tour. \nThe historically significant churchyard contains graves of distinguished political figures and local citizens as well as those of unnamed 19th-century enslaved persons.   \n“As docents\, we strive to communicate the sweep of what happened and how it shaped us\, the good and the sometimes painful\,” Morrice reflected. “We do like to remind visitors that St. John is not a museum\, but a vibrant\, welcoming church. We’re still moving forward\, and welcome all who would like to make more history with us.”  \nThe church is located at 1895 Greenville Highway.  For more information call the church office at 828-693-9783 or visit www.stjohnflatrock.org. \nSt. John in the Wilderness History \nIn 1827\, Charles Baring\, a member of the Baring banking family of England\, built a home in Flat Rock. He and his wife\, Susan\, wanted a summer place to escape the oppressive heat\, humidity\, and malaria of the South Carolina Lowcountry where they lived.  \nThe Barings built a chapel on the property of their newly constructed home. Soon after it was built\, the small wooden structure burned down in a woods fire. In 1833\, work began on a second church built of handmade brick.  \nIn August 1836\, the Barings deeded their chapel to the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina\, and 20 members of the Flat Rock “summer colony” of Lowcountry planters and merchants formed an Episcopal parish. In the 1890s\, St. John in the Wilderness became part of the Diocese of Western North Carolina; it is the oldest parish in that diocese. \nWith almost all its congregation traveling home to the Lowcountry after the summer season\, the church operated mainly during that season for its first 120 years. So rapid was the growth of the Flat Rock summer community during the 1830s and 1840s\, however\, that the parish membership outgrew the small chapel. In the early 1850s\, the decision was made to rebuild the church\, doubling its size. The English chapel-style structure that stands today is\, with only a few minor modifications\, the church that was completed in 1852.
