WE’RE LOCALS IS COMING TO ASHEVILLE!
We’re Locals is a unique live multimedia show where two bozos (Dan Vetrano and Aaron Nevins) do their best to blend in with the natives in a completely different town every seven days, culminating in one dazzling show at the end of the week.
Dan and Aaron comb your bars, businesses and peculiar classified ads to find the most fascinating people around, following strange paths to meet even stranger strangers, scouring your thrift shops for choice finds, and generally embarking on insane life-changing experiences that they’ll tell you all about.
In addition, We’re Locals aims to showcase the colorful and vibrant idiosyncrasies of each town, rounding up local bands, comedians and artists and shining a spotlight on the workers, craftspeople and small businesses that make each place unique.
Come on out to We’re Locals for one night only of charmingly idiotic powerpoint presentations, games, surprises, and weird Wifi names from your neighborhood. By the end of the week, you might even confuse Dan and Aaron for your neighbors.

Warren Wilson Theatre presents Branden Jacobs-Jenkins Appropriate. This family drama runs November 12, 13 at 7:30pm and 14 at 2:30pm at Kittredge Theatre on the Warren Wilson College campus.
Appropriate explores the story of a troubled family reunited by the death of the patriarch. While cleaning the plantation homestead of their late father, the Lafayette family is haunted by the ghosts of their past. Maintaining peace and selling the property is much harder when new arrivals and old memories seem to appear from thin air. The siblings must confront both their resentment towards each other and the disturbing artifacts found among their fathers things.
The content of the play has already caused controversy on the Warren Wilson College campus,; with some students attempting to discourage participation in the production. According to director Candace Taylor, Appropriate is intended to make you uncomfortable and was chosen for that reason to cause understanding and empathy, and very possibly, change. Personally, I think this campus is brave enough to face one small story of our (shared) American history.
The play has received a great deal of critical attention; The controversy and discomfort surrounding this production reveal the need for the authentic dialogue and conversations that Appropriate sparks, to that end, Warren Wilson Theatre will be hosting talkbacks with the actors after every performance. We invite you to come see this production and challenge yourself to think more deeply about the haunting consequences of our shared (and shameful) American history and the nature of family itself.
Appropriate explores adult themes.
All performances are open to the public.
