*WHY?
Our vision for Different Strokes! is to create a world-class theatre that engages our community in a relevant discussion about our shared humanity. As we look back over 8 successful seasons and plan for another, our consistent quality and growth dictate that we must locate our current programming to a more permanent location. In the spring of 2018, Different Strokes! will make a home in a newly renovated theater in the South Slope district of Downtown Asheville. This 120 seat performing arts venue will more comfortably accommodate our growing audience, become a home for other diverse and varied performing arts groups, and allow us to expand our provocative and transformative programming.
Your financial contribution, including the purchase of your ticket(s), is a vital part of helping us to expand DS!PAC’s vision of excellence, develop new programs and projects, turn new ideas into reality, and executing innovative ways of serving our community and region. Time is of the essence, as we begin equipping the building with a stage, lights, sound, seats and essentials to make this space, with incredible potential, into an incredibly inviting performance venue!
