The Actor’s Center of Asheville | June 2025
We are thrilled to welcome the Actors Center The Actors Center of Asheville (TACA) to Lamplight AVL for the month of June. TACA’s black box theatre & studio were lost in Hurricane Helene. As a result, they have been moving around since the flood and will be spending the month of June generating work, art, creative connection and as much artistic contribution to the community as possible.
TACA not only lost their brick and mortar location in Helene, they also lost their scholarship fund for students struggling financially. All June offerings will go towards rebuilding the scholarship fund, and opening the new TACA location. TACA has always been a place where artists come to train, create their own work, and book as a screen actor. They will be offering live performances, musical events, classes and workshops during their stay at Lamplight AVL. We’ve outlined their events below, we hope you’ll join them for their packed month of programming!
