Catch Asheville native Julia VanderVeen’s hilarious and poignant one woman show, My Grandmother’s Eyepatch, before she takes it to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival next month!
My Grandmother’s Eyepatch celebrates the human experience. All ticket sales will finance Julia’s trip across the pond – so one ticket means a night of entertainment for you and for countless Fringe Festival goers!
The physical comedy of My Grandmother’s Eyepatch will explore the wild stages of grief and attempt to honor Julia’s beloved grandmother who died two decades ago.
Frigid Fringe NYC’s ‘Best solo clown’ winner Julia VanderVeen says: “My grandmother always wanted to be a poet, and she was a poet very late in her life, but I always wondered if she really wanted to raise children or if she did it because it was expected.
“I especially feel connected to my grandmother right now, because I’m an artist in my late 30s, and I’m actively in the process of deciding whether I want to be a mother or not.
“How many female voices have not been heard because they were tired out from the immediate tasks of child-rearing?”
This performance of My Grandmother’s Eyepatch is ONE NIGHT ONLY at NC Stage — Don’t wait to get tickets to this evening of mirth, merriment, and joyful remembrance!
Prepare yourself for a whirlwind adventure of suspense and comedy with Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps. This fast-paced play is a unique adaptation of the 1935 classic Hitchcock thriller film, infused with a healthy dose of Monty Python-style humor. The story revolves around the central character, Richard Hannay, who inadvertently gets tangled in a mysterious web of spies, murder, and love. Remarkably, the entire riveting narrative unfolds through the talents of just four actors, who collectively portray over 150 characters, masterfully switching roles with lightning speed. Brimming with clever references to Hitchcock’s filmography, wry British humor, and ingeniously crafted theatrical inventiveness, The 39 Steps promises a rollicking evening of entertainment that leaves audiences on the edge of their seats.
A talkback with the cast & crew of The 39 Steps will be held following the performances on June 23rd and 30th.
David Spade became a household favorite during his tenure as a cast member on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live”. For his memorable role as Dennis Finch, the wise-cracking, power-hungry assistant on “Just Shoot Me”, Spade received nominations for a 1999 Emmy Award, Golden Globe, and American Comedy
Award. He continues to be a box office draw, touring his stand-up shows nationwide. His most recent stand-up special “Nothing Personal” debuted on Netflix in 2022.

| Every Sunday Modelface Comedy brings you the best comedians from all over the country, and this week we have Tom Luciano from NYC!
Tom Luciano, a native New Yorker, has quickly become a fixture in the comedy scene both locally and internationally. In New York City, Tom performs regularly at iconic venues such as Gotham Comedy Club, The Stand, and The Comic Strip. His observational wit, absurdist humor, and storytelling prowess have garnered him features at prestigious comedy competitions such as the San Diego Festival. His comedy, which focuses on the absurdity of day-to-day life, has also taken him to venues across the United States, and all over the globe, cementing his reputation as a relatable and hilarious commentator on the human experience. Through his podcast, “Funny Thing About That…”, Tom continues to explore the intersection of comedy, business and corporate America. Renowned for his comedic acting roles, including Keith in “The Rest of Your Life” on Amazon Prime, and celebrated for his viral celebrity impressions (featured on BroBible), Tom’s comedic chops drive bankable laughs. His award-winning work as a comedic writer, director, and producer has seen him creating unforgettable sketches and animated short films for an array of Fortune 100 companies. Tom recently returned from a run of shows in Asia – he is actively recovering from eating his entire body weight in dumplings. featuring Juan Nicolón ages 18+ |

Welcome to our weekly community contra dance in West Asheville! The Monday Night Dance has been around for decades, and we are carrying the torch forward! We are a loving, kind, and safe dance community and highly encourage masking during the dance. No derogatory comments in relation to masking will be tolerated! We encourage non-maskers to mask while partnering with a dancer wearing a mask, or to at least ask if the person would like them to mask while they dance with them.
Practicalities
Time: Contra dancing 8:15–10:30pm, with a beginner lesson starting at 7:45 and a waltz session ending the evening.
Location: St. George’s Center for Art and Spirit, 1 School Rd., Asheville, NC 28806

This is a scent-free dance. Please bring your own water and water bottle. Beginners are encouraged to attend! Beginner-friendly dances start the contra dancing in lieu of a lesson.
Community Focus
The Monday Night Dance is more than just a dance; the community is deeply rooted. Folks are welcome to sell their wares, like jewelry, dance shoes, dance clothes, pottery, etc. They are also welcome to leave business cards and help wanted or work needed ads. Additionally, the Take Some Leave Some Closet is a new feature of the MND. You can take any clothes, food, produce, feminine products or first aid supplies that we have, and as you are able you can also leave some to replenish. Private times to receive from the closet can also be arranged during the week depending on to the dance organizer’s availability.

The tour is 60 minutes long and includes no stops. The tour is hosted by a zany tour guide, and along the way other characters will hop on the bus and perform kid-centric sketches (Candy Pirate, Ninja, and a Levitator) The tour is not only fun – it’s educational! Kids and adults will learn new and interesting facts about Asheville along the way. There must be 1 adult for every 4 children. We do not allow any unaccompanied children.
