'Grimm' opens tomorrow!

We are pleased to announce our next Catalyst Series production: Dark Horse Theatre's original play Grimm.  It opens tomorrow, Wednesday, March 23 and runs through Saturday, March 26, and all performances are at 7:30 PM.  Get your tickets today!  They're available online, over the phone (828.239.0263), or in person at our box office - 15 Stage Lane. 

Grimm, an original work written and directed by Emily McClain, is the follow-up to Dark Horse Theatre’s 2010 production of Alice Underground, which sold out two separate runs at BeBe Theatre.  Two members of the Grimm cast, Jason Williams and Marissa Williams, were interviewed on 880 The Revolution's program Local Edge Radio last week, and you can listen to the interview here.  (To get to their part of the program, drag the player to about 65% of the way through the track.)

The residents of Grimm eagerly await your arrival...

Boeing... Boeing... GONE! (Almost)

Panoramic view of the Boeing-Boeing set

     Believe it or not, we're entering the fifth and last week of performances of our production of Boeing-Boeing.  It's been a fantastic run so far, and it's broken records, too.  In case you hadn't heard, this production has "become the biggest-selling show in the theater’s 10-year history."  There are still some tickets available if you haven't seen it yet or want to come see it again, so click that link or give our box office a call today - (828) 239-0263. 

     If you have seen the show and something caught your eye - say, the globe bar? the vintage coffee pot? - then you're in luck!  We're auctioning off (most of) this wonderful set, so you have a chance to win a pretty excellent Boeing-Boeing souvenir.  Just check out our website for more information.  Doing some Spring cleaning and just found room for that unique 'inchworm chair'?  Then make your bid today!  The auction is open through next Wednesday, March 23 at 5 PM.  All bids must be made by phone, though you can check the bids on an item online at any time.  Get a piece of the set before it's Boeing-Boeing GONE!

     We hope to see you in our neck of the woods soon, or see a piece of our set in yours.  Have a great weekend, and happy Spring!

Let's Fa(r)ce It

We here at NC Stage love farce.  Last year we had Joe Orton's What the Butler Saw, and in our earlier years we produced Loot, also by Orton.  The first play Scott & Charlie ever performed in together was one of Marc Camoletti's other famous plays, Don't Dress for Dinner.  Both are fans of the genre and have keen acting skills for farce.  So, today, we have a little treat: I've asked Charlie to interview Scott about farce and why they both love it. Enjoy!

from the 'Bedroom farce' Wikipedia article:

"Boeing Boeing is a classic French farce for the stage by Marc Camoletti. Monopolizing on most of the conventions of farce's canon, it concerns a Parisian playboy bachelor with three international stewardess fiancées he secretly keeps in careful rotation until their flight schedules change and he, along with his provincial friend and sassy maid, must keep them from finding out about each other. Lucky they have enough doors in the apartment to keep the girls unwittingly flitting about for two hours."
