This unique production has double cast both roles; cast members will trade off throughout the run, resulting in FOUR DISTINCT ACTING PAIRS. Tickets are for specific nights of the production; audience members wishing to see the play in a new cast configurations should purchase tickets for each evening they wish to attend. See below for scheduled performances.

*Audience members please note: this play includes references to domestic violence and offensive language. The producers have decided to include the language in its original form because it is true to the timeframe and to the characters, and it represents an important phase in the arcs of both characters.

Join us at 7pm on Saturday, February 3, as Alex McWalters gives a public reading/performance at The Residency at 821.

It has long been a goal of his to host a hybrid artistic event which showcases his work as both a writer and musician. This may include other members of River Whyless, as well as other local musicians, in a musical accompaniment to a literary reading. Given that much of his work is about music, and about his experiences as a musician, and that the work itself strives toward lyricism and musicality, he envisions a reading that features a live soundtrack, followed by a full musical performance. Among other things, he sees it as a way to bring together into one space his associations with both the musical and literary communities of Asheville.

Join us on Saturday, January 13th, as Sarah Louise hosts an intimate group singing event that invites in herbal allies to sing with us through a tea party. Doors open at 3:30, and the event begins at 4:00 (at which point the doors will be closed to the public). The event is expected to conclude by 7pm.

After sipping your tea, sit back for a brief sound bath and guided visualization that will prepare us to make sounds for connecting with each other and the Earth. Whether it is laughter, tears, wild sound-making or beautiful harmony singing, all expression is possible in this caring space and no musical experience is necessary. The Earth delights in all of our expression! Suggested donation of $5-$50.
