Governor Roy Cooper announced the $4 Million Summer Cash and College Tuition drawings to incentivize individuals to receive their COVID-19 vaccinations and to thank those who have already done so. This announcement means that four vaccinated North Carolinians 18 and older will win $1 million each and four North Carolinians ages 12 to 17 will win tuition for post-secondary education. Executive Order 219, which has concurrence from the North Carolina Council of State, authorizes the drawings. North Carolinians 18 and over who have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine will be automatically entered into four drawings for a chance to win a $1 million cash prize. Youth between the ages of 12 and 17 who have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine will be automatically entered into four drawings to win $125,000 towards post-secondary education. The $125,000 can be used at any post-secondary institution and is awarded in the form of a NC 529 account.

Ohio, the first state to launch such a program, reported a 28 percent increase in vaccinations among those 16 and older in the first two weeks following the announcement. According to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, 44% of the total population has received at least one dose of the vaccine and 41% of the population is fully vaccinated.

Terpsicorps Theatre of Dance, a renowned professional ballet company that brings Asheville vivid cutting-edge dance every summer, is ready to get back on stage after a year of shut downs and restrictions. This summer’s three shows and gala will be a huge celebration, including outdoor events where the audience can safely enjoy the first big party since covid numbers have decreased in Buncombe County. The renowned dance company will build a stage in the River Arts District and put together a stylish and festive way for people to enjoy dance, music, amazing food and drink. The events pay tribute to local philanthropists, John Cram and Leah Karpen, both major supporters in the arts and each show is dedicated to their memory.

The dance performances will showcase critically acclaimed dancers handpicked from companies across the US and abroad. Now in her nineteenth season as artistic director, Heather Maloy, a nationally recognized choreographer, is known for her creative stories that sometimes have humor, shed light on the complexities of the human experience and entertain. The company, typically known for making bold statements on current events, is choosing instead to focus on providing this summer’s audience an escape from them. Highlights on the program include Salvatore Aiello’s Senza Fretta, Maloy’s comedic crowd pleaser, Couch Potatoes, and the world premiere of Famous Last Words, created to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and featuring local comedian, Tom Chalmers.

The company has chosen to present this season’s performances at Foundy Street in the River Arts District. Audiences can choose from several different events. Opening Night features a post-performance dance party at Rabbit Rabbit. For families, the Saturday morning Family Matinee has a shortened run time, kid friendly repertoire and a more economical price tag. Gala Night, a “must” for performing arts patrons, is a full evening event, starting with dinner and drinks and finishing off with dessert with the world class dancers. The gala is being touted as the best party to happen in Asheville since 2019.
The 2021 season is being sponsored by Mercedes-Benz of Winston-Salem and donors, Patty and Malcolm Brown.
