SUMMARY:Robin Plemmons: Throbbin'
DESCRIPTION:Asheville artist and comedian Robin Plemmons is back for another round of holleration. Her third one-woman show here at the Grey Eagle is called THROBBIN and she’ll be in her sweet spot- oversharing the hell out of her life: like living with Crohn’s disease\, getting through 8 butthole surgeries\, being married to an Appalachian beefcake\, parenting neurodivergent kids in a hellscape\, and dragging her ass to therapy\, all while laughing at the absurdity of it all. She’s like Miralax for emotional constipation\, organically loosening us all up. You might shit yourself. Your chakras might align. You might run into your therapist (or hers) and have to unpack that later. You might leave with a boner (or the vulva equivalent). You might feel healed. You might feel traumatized. Who’s to say. ADHD and visually stimulated individuals will especially enjoy how she sprinkles her own ridiculous\, heartfelt art throughout the show\, displayed on the big screen in front of you. Please keep in mind that it’s R-rated material\, so don’t bring your MeeMaw unless your MeeMaw is chill. And here’s a fun surprise! The end of the show will morph into a dance party filled with nasty hip hop\, power ballads\, and splashes of Xennial nostalgic tunes. Think DMX\, Celine Dion\, Kendrick\, Beyoncé\, Amy Grant. It’s a delightful sensory buffet that will leave your heart\, eyeballs\, and crotchal region throbbin’ in all the best ways. Bonus! It’s a Saturday night! There’ll be tacos\, beer\, and unhinged merch! AND you’ll probably be in bed\, snuggled under your covers like a sweet\, satiated\, milk-drunk baby\, by 9:30 or 10:00.

SUMMARY:GALLERY WALK – JANIE PACKER\, CERAMICS & MIXED MEDIA ARTIST
DESCRIPTION:(FREE) Ceramics artist Janie Packer will join the Lucy Clark Gallery for the August Gallery walk. \nJanie often only has the germ of an idea when she starts a new project\, and she lets a wild dance between her and the clay direct the process. As the work progresses\, it may start to look like a weeping woman\, or a cat with a crown on its head. She lets the dance go on until the basic form emerges. If it makes her smile\, then the refining process begins. Pieces may be fired multiple times until the surface treatment is completed. Regardless of the outcome\, her work deals with the idea of human fragility. It is about compassion for people as they journey from suffering on towards enlightenment.

SUMMARY:ENCOUNTERS WITH CREATIVES – ANN WATCHER\, ORIGINAL OIL ARTIST
DESCRIPTION:(FREE) Ann Watcher will be on hand to share her techniques and experience in oil paintings. \nAnn’s inspiration is creating a visual experience. She describes herself as a painter of color and expression. It is not only subject matter that intrigues her\, but the play of shapes and colors and light against one another whether an old house\, a boat\, or a velvet hat. She strives to put modern touches of different colors around the canvas to express what she feels and sees and often blends elements of realism and abstraction to create a dynamic composition. Two of her floral paintings were selected to appear in season three of the Showtime series\, “Homeland” and another floral was featured in a commercial for the Levine Cancer Center in Charlotte. Duke University Medical Pavilion and Elon University have commissioned Ann’s art.

SUMMARY:The Odd Couple - Flat Rock Playhouse - 8/28-9/19
DESCRIPTION:Pour a drink and duck for cover — domestic bliss is about to get messy. \nMeet Felix: impeccably pressed\, emotionally distressed\, and suddenly single. Meet Oscar: charmingly rumpled\, habitually late\, and blissfully allergic to coasters. When Felix moves in with his old pal Oscar after a marital meltdown\, neatness meets nonsense\, and the sparks fly. \nAshtrays overflow\, tempers flare\, and laughter fills the living room in Neil Simon’s effervescent comedy of friendship\, forgiveness\, and the fine art of driving each other crazy.  \nThe Odd Couple is a classic cocktail of chaos and charm. Proof that opposites attract… so long as they don’t share a kitchen. \nEvent Times: 2:00 PM & 7:30 PM

SUMMARY:Gimme Hendrix
DESCRIPTION:Hailing from the vibrant music scene of Athens\, GA\, Gimme Hendrix stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the greatest band of the psychedelic era\, The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Our band is not just a tribute; it’s a journey back in time to when music underwent a revolution\, led by the unparalleled artistry of Jimi Hendrix. As a multi-award-winning tribute band\, Gimme Hendrix has been honored with seven nominations and four wins for the Best Tribute/Cover at the prestigious Athens Flagpole Music Awards. Our passion for authenticity has taken us across the United States and beyond\, with tours reaching as far as Bucharest\, Romania. The Jimi Hendrix Experience reshaped the ’60s and left an indelible mark on music history. Their sound—a mesmerizing fusion of blues\, soul\, R&B\, jazz\, rock\, and more—was nothing short of revolutionary. Jimi Hendrix’s contribution was not just music; it was a cultural phenomenon. In our quest to recreate the Jimi Hendrix Experience\, we pay meticulous attention to detail. From our attire to our stage presence\, we embody the spirit and style of the era. But above all\, our focus is on recapturing that iconic sound. As a three-piece ensemble\, just like the original\, we deliver electrifying live performances that resonate with the power and passion of the past.

SUMMARY:Film Premiere: Erased
DESCRIPTION:Asheville\, NC — On August 29\, 2026\, at 7:30pm\, Missy Bell of Mouse House Productions will premiere her debut feature film: Erased\, at the Diana Wortham Center for the Performing Arts. The tender-hearted drama stars local actors Thomas L. Townsend\, Elias Hamilton\, and Lauren H. Davis. \nWhen Missy Bell wrote the screenplay for her debut feature film\, she had no way of knowing shooting would land in the wake of Hurricane Helene.  \nCo-producers Missy and Michael Bell\, joked with the crew\, “If we can flush\, we can film!” as production dates approached for shooting the hope-core drama\, Erased. \nMichael said\, “It ended up that just one day before the deadline we’d set for ourselves\, we got non-potable water back in the pipes.” Filming took place in November and December of 2024\, and the film was completed in September 2025. \nMissy and Michael run their production company\, Mouse House Productions\, in a collaborative and cooperative manner\, putting kindness first and making sure that everyone who works on the film gets a cut of the film’s profit. The premiere event\, scheduled for August 29th at the Wortham Center for the Performing Arts\, is no exception. Missy said\, “This event will serve to launch Erased into screening all over the world. We’re excited to celebrate this milestone with our community right here in Asheville.” \nThe premiere event will feature live performances from the film’s composer (Joshua Hummel) and soundtrack musicians\, a screening of the film\, remarks from the filmmakers\, a red carpet\, merch\, and a mixer with the cast and crew following the screening\, where audience members can get autographs and mingle with the actors and other creatives in person. “It’s a red carpet comeback from Helene for the entire community. I cannot wait to celebrate this film and what it means\, knowing what we’ve all overcome!” \nAbout the Film: Erased takes place over One Crazy Night\, and is the story of Evan\, a thirty-something business man working on the deal of his life. When the now 18 year old son he chose to abandon at birth appears at his door in the middle of the night\, Evan is forced to choose between the deal and the possibility of a  relationship with his son. An early access reviewer said: “[Erased is] tender\, funny\, mysterious\, and leaves the viewer with curiosities\, rounding out an excellent cinematic experience.” \nThe Asheville Premiere of Erased will take place on August 29\, 2026 at 7:30 PM (doors and red carpet at 7PM) at the Wortham Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets are on sale now via their website: “Erased” Film Premiere Event – Wortham Center for the Performing Arts.

SUMMARY:GALLERY WALK – HOLLAND VAN GORES – WOOD & MIXED MEDIA ARTIST
DESCRIPTION:(FREE) Meet and talk with Holland Van Gores about his process in creating incredible wooden sculptures. \nHolland has spent the better part of his life working with wood. As a child\, he had access to his father’s workshop and was able to use the tools and supplies. Learning these skills early in life\, led him to choose a career in construction where he honed his skills in California before taking on construction work in remote Costa Rica and eventually the United States Virgin Islands. Holland and his family relocated to western North Carolina in 2012 where he built a studio surrounded by the Pisgah National Forest. He is constantly experimenting with forms and textures\, often inspired by organic themes. “Making something with my hands allows me to feel a connection to that piece\, giving it a purpose.”

SUMMARY:Escape to the Page! A Creative Writing Adventure
DESCRIPTION:Escape to the Page\, facilitated by Sondra Hall\, is a no-pressure\, come-as-you-are creative writing adventure for enthusiastic and reluctant writers alike. Our focus is on sparking creativity using a variety of generative writing activities. Expect the unexpected!
 \nWe’ll meet around the virtual kitchen table and explore all kinds of techniques for diving into writing while sidestepping our inner critic. This is a come-as-you-are party! Everyone is invited to share their work\, but there is no obligation to do so. This class is generative—we will not be critiquing or workshopping writing. \nWednesdays\, Sept. 16-Oct. 21 from 6:30-8:30pm EST\nOnline via Zoom\nSliding Scale Registration | $275 / $300 / $325
