Presented by: Maya L
I hope to survey the activism taking place in Chapel Hill. This has been cast as a movement around white supremacist monuments when the movement has strategically used the white supremacist landscape to reveal truths about the racism of the university, town, and institutions of Chapel Hill. Black, women activists have primarily led this fight forcing Chapel Hill to confront its racist past and present while actually grounding and writing in blood often coopted concepts such as “intersectionality.” Antiauthoritarian, direct action and a broad coalition of autonomous actors, many typically privileged enough to ignore racism, came together through the collective dedication to rescue imagined futures that were repressed in the university’s past. I hope to inspire others to use their own landscape to reveal truths about and take action against systems of oppression near them.

Presented by: Modibo Kadalie
In the middle of the twentieth century, the civil rights, Black power, and Pan-Africanist movements forever altered the shape of human social existence as millions of people organized in a world-wide struggle for freedom that continues into the present day. In this community conversation, scholar-activist Modibo Kadalie will reflect upon his nearly six decades of participation in social freedom movements, from Atlanta’s lunch counter sit-ins, to labor organizing in Detroit, to student protests for Black studies, to anticolonial support networks for African liberation and beyond. Kadalie will offer a new way to understand history by recasting these movements as remarkably leaderless revolutions and connecting Black freedom struggles to ecological activism in the era of climate change. Kadalie calls upon present and future generations of activists to reconnect with the spirit of past revolutions and our own intuitive capacities for cooperation and directly democratic self-governance.

Montford Park Players Presents Classic Love Story, Romeo & Juliet

Romeo & Juliet
by William Shakespeare

Produced by Montford Park Players at the Hazel Robinson Amphitheatre

Show Dates:
August 2-24
Friday, Saturday and Sunday @ 7:30pm

Hazel Robinson Amphitheatre
92 Gay St. Asheville, NC

We’re proud announce our upcoming production of the classic romance Romeo & Juliet. All performances will be held at the Hazel Robinson Amphitheatre at 92 Gay Street in the heart of Asheville’s historic Montford District, from August 2nd through the 24th on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings at 7:30pm. This performance, like ALL of Montford Park Players’ shows, will be absolutely FREE to attend.

Romeo & Juliet remains one of the most-enduring stories in all of history, spawning countless productions at theaters around the world and filmed versions, both of the original and stories based on it, seemingly every few years. In this years’ version, director Mandy Bean presents the show close to as it may have originally been produced, traditional costumes and production concept.
The story of these “star-crossed lovers” was last presented by Montford Park Players five years ago. It tells the story of the Capulets and the Montagues, two families in a long-standing feud. When their children Juliet and Romeo, respectively, fall in love, the blowback is violent and even deadly. Although, it is a tragedy in the traditional sense, the play is very funny, charming and romantic in its early acts. Director Bean hopes that those who perceive of the show as a tear-jerker, will see the brilliant antics set forth in before things get heavy.

Romeo here is played by Jackson Cole with MPP-regular Sophie Stanley as his love, Juliet. The cast contains some of Montford’s most-popular players, including Devyn Ray Villareal, Haven Volpe, Jason Williams and David Broshar. The show is, as mentioned, directed by Mandy Bean, who directed the hit A Midsummer Night’s Dream last season. Costumes will be by Sam LeBroq, with choreography provided by Kristi DeVille.

For more information or to reserve seats, go to montfordparkplayers.org, or call at (828) 254-5146.

Love, Linda is a one-woman musical about Linda Lee Thomas, the glamorous spouse and driving force behind renowned American songwriter Cole Porter. The story of their unconventional 35-year marriage interweaves with innovative arrangements of Porter’s timeless music and clever lyrics to create the compelling narrative of Love, Linda.

In the course of the show, Linda takes us behind the glitter of their sensational social life, sharing intimate, and at times heartbreaking moments, such as the dashed dreams of having a child, Cole’s occasional hurtful sexual escapades, his crippling horse accident and her own failing health. To quote Linda from the show, their journey together was far from “a picture-perfect postcard”, but by the end of her story, she has definitively made the case that “just because a love between two people may be difficult to define, that doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.”

Love, Linda is directed by Misty Theisen and stars Karen Covington-Yow.

Seating is limited for this show!

“A drama that’s not just a departure but a revelation” – Variety

Becca and Howie Corbett have everything a family could want, until the tragic death of their son turns their world upside down and leaves the couple drifting apart. Rabbit Hole charts their bittersweet journey from a place of uncertainty to a new reality, as they find themselves and each other. In the end, there is always hope. Winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize.

We are so excited to work with director Stephanie Hickling Beckman on this production. Stephanie is the Founder and Managing Artistic Director of Different Strokes Performing Arts Collective and has directed several times in 35below. She
shares that “Rabbit Hole has been categorized as a play about parents navigating the loss of a child. Upon closer inspection, it became apparent to me that while the polarizing incident serves as a catalyst for grief, the play can’t be defined by the tragedy that occurs eight months before the opening scene. Rabbit Hole is instead a story about how a family, each in their own way, navigates a life-changing event.”
 

Deep River presents The Long Run: The Eagles 20 Greatest Hits 1972-1994 In Songs & Stories at Triskelion!

Sharon Lewis started Deep River in early 1992 while living in Southington, Connecticut after the demise of her first band, Amethyst Country. As the founder, drummer, one of three vocalists and band leader, Sharon’s dream was to take the three women and three men of Deep River to Nashville in pursuit of a record deal, but when the time came to leave only vocalist/acoustic guitarist, Sandy Howard joined her in the move to Nashville in April 1993.

The current line-up includes Sharon Lewis on bass guitar and vocals (27+ years) Sandy Howard on acoustic guitar and vocals (27 years) Gerry Brown on pedal steel, dobro, acoustic- and Telecaster guitars (12 years) Justin Watt on drums (11 years) Alec Fehl on lead guitar (3 years) vocalist Nita Smith (2nd year) and just for The Eagles show, Bob Bencze on keyboards and Tim McCall on 6- and 12-string acoustic guitars, Telecaster- and bottleneck slide guitar.

The name ‘Deep River’ conjures up thoughts about the natural circle of life, and that’s exactly how one might describe their music—stories of love and loss told in the context of family-style harmonies and danceable rhythms. The Deep River just keeps rolling…
