In The 39 Steps, a man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she’s a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called “The 39 Steps” is hot on the man’s trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale! A riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft, The 39 Steps amounts to an unforgettable evening of pure pleasure!

Online ticket sales end 1 hour prior to showtime but there may still be tickets available at the door for purchase. Call the BMCA office at 828.669.0930 to find out ticket availability.

Palimpsest: A Live Podcast Performance
In celebration of the podcast Palimpsest’s fifth anniversary, join creators Jamieson Ridenhour and Hayley Heninger for an intimate live performance featuring three complete stand-alone episodes from 2022’s Visitations series.

Palimpsest is a single-voiced horror audio drama about memory, identity, and the things that haunt us. Each 10-episode season is a self-contained story exploring the spaces between horror, fantasy, and psychological realism. Recently wrapping up its fourth season with over half a million downloads, Palimpsest has critics calling it “audio fiction’s best foray into the Gothic” and “a masterclass in atmosphere.”

It’s time for our annual winter cleanup at the Amphitheatre. We hope you’ll join us to help getting good stuff where it needs to go and not-good stuff into the dumpsters!

We’re in the process of repairing the lower stage, where a number of the supporting posts have rotted away. We plan to raise the stage about 30 inches, and make it last for a long time. We’ve removed a good deal of the existing stage and will put the not-good posts and boards in the dumpsters, along with leftover stuff from the 2022 season that we don’t have room for.

We’ll feed you(!) and hope you’ll join us this Saturday. Bring work gloves or use ours.

‘It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.’ 

Published in 1813, Jane Austen’s ultimate romantic comedy Pride and Prejudice has stood the test of time. Filled with unforgettable characters, including Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, this sharp social satire has it all; wit, love and lots of dancing!

As the Bennet sisters try to navigate their way toward love and marriage, Austen humorously skewers the hypocrisies and absurdities of the English class system and puts the thoughts and feelings of her women characters front and center.

Aquila Theatre will bring this classic thrillingly to life with its signature passion, energy, and visual flair. The New Yorker says that “Aquila’s productions are beautifully spoken, dramatically revealing and crystalline in effect,” while DC Metro Arts described Aquila’s production of Austen’s Sense and Sensibility as ‘Delightful – one of the joys of Aquila Theatre, a fun and lively version.’ Artistic director Desiree Sanchez’s adaptation of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was described by The New York Theatre Guide as ‘another piece of theatrical genius. Her direction is polished and laser sharp. She gets the maximum amount of potential out of every stage moment, has exceptional attention to detail, and is a demiurge of direction.’

Aquila is one of the foremost producers of classical theater in the United States, visiting 50-60 American cities per year. Since its founding in 1991, the company has built an extensive international touring circuit, received numerous grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and others as well as performed at the White House under the Bush and Obama administrations.
