SUMMARY:“Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol” at NC Stage
DESCRIPTION:Jacob Marley is dead — and things are about to get worse.\nShackled\, miserable\, and tormented by a hell-sprite who is far too enthusiastic about his work\, Marley faces an eternity of exactly what he deserves. Unless\, of course\, he can do something about Ebenezer Scrooge. In this re-imagining of the classic Christmas Carol story\, the ghost gets his own journey — and it turns out redemption is just as hard to come by on the other side of the grave as it is on this one. Tom Mula’s Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol is a clever\, moving\, and enjoyable holiday journey for audiences of all ages. \nAll Tickets for this Show are on a Sliding Scale!\nChoose Your Price from the Following Options: $15\, $25\, $35\, $45\, $55\nWednesdays\, Thursdays\, Saturdays: 7:30pm ; Sundays: 2pm\nFirst Friday (12/4): 7:30pm ; last two Fridays (12/11 & 12/18): 2pm\nAdditional matinees on the last two Saturdays (12/12 & 12/19): 2pm

SUMMARY:The Art of Presence: Meditation and Reflection in the Museum
DESCRIPTION:Step into the Museum’s galleries before the doors open for a quiet and contemplative morning of meditation\, mindful walking\, and reflection. This guided experience invites participants to slow down\, settle the nervous system\, and explore the Museum as a place of sanctuary\, spaciousness\, and renewal. \nThe session will begin with a brief seated meditation\, followed by a walking meditation through selected exhibits. Along the way\, participants will pause with gentle mindfulness prompts designed to support personal reflection\, embodied awareness\, and a deeper connection with the artwork. Rather than offering art historical interpretation\, the experience encourages each participant to notice what arises within them through presence\, stillness\, and mindful seeing. The group will honor noble silence throughout much of the session with occasional opportunities for brief reflection and sharing. No previous meditation experience is needed. \nJoin Joshua on 8/22\, 10/3\, 11/7\, and 12/5. \nJoshua Canter is a mindfulness meditation teacher and the founder of True Nature Travels and Education\, an Asheville-based organization that has offered transformative retreats and educational experiences around the world for more than 20 years. He holds a master’s degree in Contemplative Psychology and is passionate about making mindfulness accessible\, grounded\, and relevant to everyday life.

SUMMARY:The Lemon Twigs
DESCRIPTION:The Grey Eagle and Worthwhile Sounds Present \nThe Lemon Twigs’ two previous Captured Tracks albums\, A Dream Is All We Know (2024) and Everything Harmony (2023)\, certainly indicated something of a ground zero in their then five album career. “It was the beginning of making records that we would listen to ourselves\,” says Michael D’Addario\, the younger Twig brother\, now aged 26. By the time of A Dream Is All We Know and the future Michael classic “My Golden Years”\, The Lemon Twigs’ new era had truly begun. And now comes the third Lemon Twigs album for Captured Tracks\, Look For Your Mind!\, which underneath its poppy exterior contains an undercurrent of paranoia and suspicion. \nOpening with title track “Look For Your Mind”\, a jangly Michael number\, the listener is introduced to the guitar-driven harmony sound that is the centering theme of the album. Much of what was achieved on A Dream Is All We Know is here\, just more laser focused. It’s classic Twigs\, indebted to the golden age of guitar pop\, but in no way slavish. \nNew to this album is the inclusion of live Twigs Reza Matin (drums) and Danny Ayala (bass)\, as well as Eva Chambers of Tchotchke\, to the rhythm section. With the brothers previously having handled everything in the studio themselves\, this shows a newfound sense of freedom. “Gather Round” is one of Look For Your Mind!’s bigger productions. A Brian song with joyous orchestrations\, it feels like a turn of the century campaign song. The writer is looking for an uncorrupted leader\, but resolves that collective action is the only way forward. Musically it’s ornate and delightfully 1967\, but the mood and sentiment is distinctly 2026. “Every time we try to write something that’s completely straightforward\, we can’t help adding an element which comes out of left field.” explains Brian. \nBrian’s “Fire And Gold” starts off with a ringing power pop riff before turning everything inside out. It’s also the first song on the album to feature the powerhouse drummer Reza Matin\, whom the brothers favorably compare to Big Star’s Jody Stephens\, The Raspberries’ Jim Bonfanti\, and The Move’s Bev Bevan. Closing side one on the vinyl record is Michael’s beautiful ballad\, “Mean To Me”\, with vocals The Beach Boys would be happy to have committed to wax 60 years ago\, care of Michael\, Brian and Danny. The closer of the second side\, “Your True Enemy”\, completely throws a spanner in the works. “We at first approached the song as a simple rock arrangement\, but it didn’t fit the moodiness of the lyric\,” states Brian. “So that’s when we started to get more experimental.” \nThe Lemon Twigs sixth studio album may at first seem like a direct continuation of the previous two\, but it is also a lot more\, with nods to the earlier records\, a new found collective spirit\, and most importantly great songwriting.
