*Assembly Required: Ashevile Designer Toy Expo
Feb 16 all-day
Highland Brewing Company

Adding a Southeast destination for designer toy makers and collectors, *Assembly Required brings designer, bootleg and art toy artists from around the country, to present and sell their work.

Asheville’s premiere designer toy expo, *Assembly Required, is presented by Unboxing Asheville, Morgan’s Comic’s, 103.3 Asheville FM and Appalachian Pinball Museum. Focusing on this artistic movement, designer toys are a form of lowbrow pop art. These toy makers pull inspiration from a variety of subversive segments of culture, as well as subcultural elements, including (but not limited to) comics, tattooing, street art, and everything related to toys of the 60’s through the 80’s.

Echoing production methods of traditional toy manufacturers, designer toys are usually intended to be displayed as collectibles, rather than to be played with. Toy makers mediums range from resin to vinyl, from plastic to plush; with molding, and production techniques such as kitbash, sofubi and bootleg (recently coined ‘Artisanal Action Figure’, by New York Times writer, Rich Juzwiak [11/23/18]). (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/23/style/bootleg-toys-action-figures.html).

Juzwiak interviews such artists as the Sucklord and Killer Bootlegs, both of whom will be present at *Assembly Required.

One Acts: Pinter’s The Room/ Ionesco’s The Bald Soprano
Feb 28 – Mar 2 all-day
Carol Belk Theatre

The Theatre of the Absurd (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatre_of_the_Absurd) “is a post–World War II designation for particular plays of absurdist fiction written by a number of primarily European playwrights in the late 1950s, as well as one for the style of theatre which has evolved from their work. Their work focused largely on the idea of existentialism and expressed what happens when human existence has no meaning or purpose and therefore all communication breaks down. Logical construction and argument gives way to irrational and illogical speech and to its ultimate conclusion, silence.”
TheatreUNCA will present two prime examples of The Theatre of the Absurd:
“The Room”, Harold Pinter’s first play, written and first produced in 1957 and “The Bald Soprano”, an absurdist comedy by Eugene Ionesco, translation by Tina Howe.
Performances Feb. 28th, March 1st and 2nd at 7:30pm and March 3rd at 2pm. Ticket prices do not include taxes and fees.
“The Room” is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service Inc., New York
“The Bald Soprano (trans. Howe)” is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.
