BYE BYE BIRDIE
A Musical Comedy
Book by Michael Stewart
Music by Charles Strouse
Lyrics by Lee Adams
Originally Produced by Edward Padula
Main Stage
August 2-18
Director: Colby Coren
A campy musical send-up of the late 1950s, small-town America, teenagers, and rock & roll. Teen heartthrob Conrad Birdie has been drafted, so he chooses All-American girl Kim MacAfee for a very public farewell kiss. Inspired by the phenomenon of Elvis Presley and his draft notice into the Army.

Performances Wednesday and Thursday at 2:00 PM and 7:30 PM, Friday at 8:00 PM, Saturday at 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM, and Sunday at 2:00 PM.

Celebrate hit songs made famous by Elvis Presley at the Flat Rock Playhouse in the upcoming production, All Shook Up! A famous Broadway musical hit, All Shook Up combines the hilarity of Shakespearean comedies, such as A Midsummer Night’s Dream, with the rock & roll music of Elvis Presley. In a musical presentation akin to Godspell and Footloose, this jukebox musical tells the story of a small-town girl with big dreams, a stick-in-the-mud mayor who has squashed any fun in her town, and the surprise visit of a leather-jacketed, guitar-playing, hip-swinging stranger. Experience the magic of rock & roll, gospel, romance, mistaken identities alongside Broadway-caliber musical numbers and hits such as, “Love Me Tender,” “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Can’t Help Falling In Love”.

“A drama that’s not just a departure but a revelation” – Variety

Becca and Howie Corbett have everything a family could want, until the tragic death of their son turns their world upside down and leaves the couple drifting apart. Rabbit Hole charts their bittersweet journey from a place of uncertainty to a new reality, as they find themselves and each other. In the end, there is always hope. Winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize.

We are so excited to work with director Stephanie Hickling Beckman on this production. Stephanie is the Founder and Managing Artistic Director of Different Strokes Performing Arts Collective and has directed several times in 35below. She
shares that “Rabbit Hole has been categorized as a play about parents navigating the loss of a child. Upon closer inspection, it became apparent to me that while the polarizing incident serves as a catalyst for grief, the play can’t be defined by the tragedy that occurs eight months before the opening scene. Rabbit Hole is instead a story about how a family, each in their own way, navigates a life-changing event.”

Love, Linda is a one-woman musical about Linda Lee Thomas, the glamorous spouse and driving force behind renowned American songwriter Cole Porter. The story of their unconventional 35-year marriage interweaves with innovative arrangements of Porter’s timeless music and clever lyrics to create the compelling narrative of Love, Linda.

In the course of the show, Linda takes us behind the glitter of their sensational social life, sharing intimate, and at times heartbreaking moments, such as the dashed dreams of having a child, Cole’s occasional hurtful sexual escapades, his crippling horse accident and her own failing health. To quote Linda from the show, their journey together was far from “a picture-perfect postcard”, but by the end of her story, she has definitively made the case that “just because a love between two people may be difficult to define, that doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.”

Love, Linda is directed by Misty Theisen and stars Karen Covington-Yow.

Seating is limited for this show!

Montford Park Players Presents Classic Love Story, Romeo & Juliet

Romeo & Juliet
by William Shakespeare

Produced by Montford Park Players at the Hazel Robinson Amphitheatre

Show Dates:
August 2-24
Friday, Saturday and Sunday @ 7:30pm

Hazel Robinson Amphitheatre
92 Gay St. Asheville, NC

We’re proud announce our upcoming production of the classic romance Romeo & Juliet. All performances will be held at the Hazel Robinson Amphitheatre at 92 Gay Street in the heart of Asheville’s historic Montford District, from August 2nd through the 24th on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings at 7:30pm. This performance, like ALL of Montford Park Players’ shows, will be absolutely FREE to attend.

Romeo & Juliet remains one of the most-enduring stories in all of history, spawning countless productions at theaters around the world and filmed versions, both of the original and stories based on it, seemingly every few years. In this years’ version, director Mandy Bean presents the show close to as it may have originally been produced, traditional costumes and production concept.
The story of these “star-crossed lovers” was last presented by Montford Park Players five years ago. It tells the story of the Capulets and the Montagues, two families in a long-standing feud. When their children Juliet and Romeo, respectively, fall in love, the blowback is violent and even deadly. Although, it is a tragedy in the traditional sense, the play is very funny, charming and romantic in its early acts. Director Bean hopes that those who perceive of the show as a tear-jerker, will see the brilliant antics set forth in before things get heavy.

Romeo here is played by Jackson Cole with MPP-regular Sophie Stanley as his love, Juliet. The cast contains some of Montford’s most-popular players, including Devyn Ray Villareal, Haven Volpe, Jason Williams and David Broshar. The show is, as mentioned, directed by Mandy Bean, who directed the hit A Midsummer Night’s Dream last season. Costumes will be by Sam LeBroq, with choreography provided by Kristi DeVille.

For more information or to reserve seats, go to montfordparkplayers.org, or call at (828) 254-5146.

$15 Advance / $15 Day of Show

Hailed as an “inspired collaboration” by NPR, the Nashville-based duo Oliver the Crow (cellist Kaitlyn Raitz and fiddler Ben Plotnick) deliver a minimal yet expansive brand of orchestral folk.

Hoot and Holler is prize winning old time prowess on fiddle, banjo, guitar, and vocals. Observant, expressive, and fresh original songwriting. This duo reveres the music of old and forges the music of new.

Ur So Beautiful Tour
Grace VanderWaal
plus Jade Jackson
Show: 8pm
Doors: 7pm
$23 – $237
All Ages

Tickets & Info: www.theorangepeel.net/event/grace-vanderwaal-ur-so-beautiful-tour/

Award-winning singer, songwriter, actress, model, philanthropist, high school freshman—Grace VanderWaal contains incredible multitudes. Following the release of her best-selling EP, Perfectly Imperfect, and full-length album, Just The Beginning, the America’s Got Talent winner is back with new music for 2019. Described as a “mature songwriter” and “pop natural” by The New York Times, VanderWaal’s new song, “Stray,” debuts a moody, searching sound that’s a departure from her signature airy ukulele riffs while considering “the exhilarating fear and freedom of growing up” with all the introspection and vulnerability that have become hallmarks of her songwriting. Always evolving and keen on expanding her artistry, VanderWaal recently tackled the title role of Stargirl, a film adaptation of Jerry Spinelli’s best-selling young adult novel set to debut in 2020. Meanwhile, she’s currently attending school in her hometown and looking forward to prom. As VanderWaal puts it: “Being on stage and being at school, it’s just two different parts of my personality.”
