Celebrate Valentine's Day with NC Stage

Aren't these androgynous cherubs just so adorable?

Yes, in case you haven't gotten around to looking at a calendar lately, it's quite obvious that Valentine's Day is fast approaching.  What's been on our mind lately though is the fast approaching arrival of Boeing-Boeing.  We've had our set being built, more lobby renovation going on, special events happening, and general hub-bub of a Mainstage production drawing near, so if you're feeling like there's a bazillion things going on in your life, we feel you.  And now Valentine's Day is right around the corner...

Our advice? Celebrate a little late.  

Valentine's Day shouldn't be a stress-fest, so take your time and join us sometime after Valentine's Day (perhaps between February 16 and March 13?) for an afternoon or evening at the theatre where you can feel intimately connected with our actors as well as your fellow audience members.  Go out for lunch or dinner beforehand, see the show, then get some chocolate afterwards. Sounds delightful, right? And another great thing about it is you can do all this by supporting local businesses.  We love Asheville, and we love you.  So buy you and your sweetheart (or a friend) some tickets, and come see us.  We're looking forward to our belated celebration with you. 

Much love, NC Stage

*Further reading: Other benefits of celebrating late include getting candy and chocolate at awesome discounts (I'm a big fan of the heart-shaped York peppermint patties -- a hint to anyone looking for me to be their Valentine; I also like truffles), not dealing with crowds at restaurants, and, of course, picking your own V-day!

Boeing-Boeing tickets on sale NOW!

9:59:57...58...59... 10 AM! Finally! I'm calling NC Stage right now.

The time has come...

 to get your Boeing-Boeing tickets!

If you're thinking "Gee, it seems early..." then you're right. It's a bit earlier than when we usually put tickets on sale for our shows, but we know seats are going to fly faster than a Concorde. Also, it's a great gift for a theatre-/farce-/fun-loving loved one, so if you're looking for a last-minute Christmas gift, or a really early Valentine's Day present, this is a good one. Plus, it's got the duo of all duos in it: Charlie Flynn-McIver and Scott Treadway, so why wait? Call our box office now (or go online) and you can get your top-choice seats! We look forward to hearing from you - 828.239.0263.

THE END IS NEAR *

Fun Internet Search Anecdote: 

It's true! The apocalypse is here, if you take the definition from the Greek, meaning 'revelation' or 'lifting of the veil.' Angels in America is an apocalypse in itself!

It's hard to believe we're in our final week of performances of Angels in America: Millennium Approaches, but it's true. Time flies, but don't let it fly by you this weekend if you haven't seen this production yet. As I'm writing this, there are only 95 tickets left spread over the four remaining performances -- WAIT -- make that three remaining performances; tonight is sold out. Word's been spreading and the word is good. (As are the pictures! Credit: Treadshots Photography)

Speaking of words, if you have seen the show already and want to read the play, head to Malaprop's, our lovely neighbor and script purveyor for the 2010-2011 NCSC Season. And let us remind you, our production is only Part One! Tony Kushner's masterpiece is so epic, it's a two-part play, and Part Two, AKA Perestroika, picks up where Millennium Approaches leaves off. The story continues!

So pass the word along and share your Angels story with a friend, or with us! We love hearing from patrons, so give us a call, write on our blog, send an email, or write us a letter -- however you want to communicate we're open to it. Hope to see you this weekend!
