North Carolina Stage Company presents an all-day theatre marathon
Saturday August 25th, at its theatre in downtown Asheville. This
homegrown mini-festival features all local performers, with theatre,
dance, sketch comedy, and more. Beginning at 3:00pm, patrons can see a show every hour, on the hour, until 1:00 in the morning. With the statewide Stoneleaf Theatre Festival now on hiatus, NC Stage decided to mount its own mini-festival, presenting twelve companies in one day, all in one venue. Performers include LYLAS, The Redundant Theatre Company Theatre, and No Shame Theatre. With the statewide Stoneleaf Theatre Festival now on hiatus, NC Stage decided to mount its own mini-festival, presenting twelve companies in one day, all in one venue. �We want to capture the excitement of a festival atmosphere,� says Artistic Director Charlie Flynn-McIver, �That�s why we�re offering rush tickets at the door, and pairing two different theatre companies in one-hour slots. We want people to take a chance on a company they�ve never seen before, and not just stick to their favorites.� NC Stage will also be serving hot dogs and veggie dogs outside the theatre from 5:00- 6:00. In the 6:00pm slot, NC Stage will take over the stage for the Best of NCSC "Alley" Awards. Named after the alley in front of the theatre (now called Stage Lane), these awards will honor the best artists and productions of the past five years. A full schedule of events is available on the web, at www.ncstage.org. All Access Passes are on sale now - just $20. Tickets for individual performances are $10, available only at the door.
