SUMMARY:Sister Act - Flat Rock Playhouse - 10/2-10/25
DESCRIPTION:When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a crime\, she hides out in the last place anyone would look — a convent. Suddenly\, the sequins are swapped for habits\, and the nightclub turns into a nave. But when Deloris brings her unholy amount of soul to the choir loft\, heaven gets a whole new groove. \nSister Act is a holy-rolling\, soul-lifting celebration of sisterhood\, second chances\, and songs that raise the roof. As Deloris helps the sisters find their voices\, they just might change her heart in return. \nPart divine comedy\, part disco revival\, it’s proof that a little funk — and a lot of faith — can turn any sanctuary into a showstopper. \nEvent Times: 2:00 PM & 7:30 PM

SUMMARY:"Misery" at NC Stage
DESCRIPTION:Paul Sheldon has survived the crash — but he’s not sure that’s a good thing. \nRescued from a Colorado snowbank by his self-proclaimed number one fan\, the bestselling romance novelist finds himself bedridden and dependent on Annie Wilkes\, a devoted reader who offers to nurse Paul back to health. When Annie discovers that Paul has killed off her favorite character in his latest manuscript\, his situation goes from dire to something much worse. Based on Stephen King’s novel and adapted for the stage by William Goldman\, Misery is a white-knuckle battle of wills between a captive and his captor…and a darkly funny question about what we owe the people who love our work. \nRegular Adult Tickets: $27-$54 (depending on chosen seat) \nStudent Tickets: $15 (18 and under/ college and graduate students with student ID) \nWednesdays\, Thursdays\, Saturdays: 7:30pm ; Sundays: 2pm  \nFirst Friday (10/16): 7:30pm ; last two Fridays (10/23 & 10/30): 2pm \nAdditional matinees on the last two Saturdays (10/24 & 10/31): 2pm \nOpening Week “Choose Your Price” Nights: October 14th – 16th
