Proud Mary Theatre Company is pleased to announce the return of Kelly Davis in our hit one-woman show THE PINK UNICORN streaming Nov. 20-22, 2020.
In this heartwarming play by Elise Forier Edie – just produced Off-Broadway in 2019 with Tony-winner Alice Ripley (Next to Normal), Kelly plays Trisha Lee , a Southern Christian single mom (and 7 other roles), who collides head-on with gender when her 14-year-old daughter, Jolene becomes “Jo”.
Directed by Anne Tromsness,
Streaming begins Friday, Nov. 20 @ 8 AM (that’s right in the morning) and ends Sunday, Nov. 22 @ midnight.
A dark, mysterious stranger walks into a bar – a long time ago in a remote village. He is on the hunt, weary from his journey and is very surprised by what he finds. Live Streamed from The Magnetic Theatre.
Starring Allen Law, Samantha LeBrocq and Zacary Landolt.
Calling all spoken word artists 15 years or older

Giving Tuesday, an international day of charitable giving comes twice this year! Join us on 12/1/2020 to support the arts in your community.
During these challenging times, our Vagabond Spirit has continued to shine bright largely thanks to incredible patrons and donors who have avidly supported the arts. We are deeply honored, humbled, and inspired by the meaningful support of this community.
We need you now more than ever. Thanks to meaningful gifts from the heart, we are more than 75% of the way to our annual fundraising goal. We hope you and your loved ones will join us on Tuesday, 12/1, for Giving Tuesday. Whether you host an individual fundraiser, donate any amount, set up a monthly giving program of $5 a week through the end of the year, or simply share our cause, you can make an impact on supporting the arts, arts education, and arts accessibility in WNC.
This year, Facebook will match up to $7 million in charitable donations. The first $2 million will be matched dollar for dollar. The remaining $5 million will match 10% of each donation until a total of $7 million is reached. Mark your calendars!
