For the first time since early 2020, UNC Asheville’s TheatreUNCA will return to the stage in front of a live, in-person audience with Everyone, a modern retelling of a 15th-century morality play. The multi-disciplinary, one-of-a-kind theatrical performance will feature movement, acting, spoken word, song, and music led by a trio of directors. Performances will take place outdoors October 14-17 in front of UNC Asheville’s Belk Theatre. Tickets are free and available to reserve now.

“The combined pandemics of COVID-19 and racism have unearthed a collective grappling with questions related to mortality, morality, and the value of human life,” says UNC Asheville’s Drama Department Chair and Associate Professor Lise Kloeppel. “An original adaptation of Everyman seemed to check all the boxes for what we were hoping to accomplish with the first show of our mainstage season.”

Inspired by the 15th-century morality play, Everyman, and infused with our shared experiences under the pandemic, Everyone explores the age-old story of facing death, taking account, experiencing isolation and resentment, making amends, and reemerging into the world with a joyous rebirth. Directors Stephanie Hickling Beckman (spoken word), Carolina Perez (music), and Aaron Snook (movement), along with a curated three-ensemble cast, wrote and adapted the script for this unique event with the collective goal of bringing audiences out of pandemic-related isolation and back into the community.

“More pageant than play, Everyone will be an outdoor celebration of the journey we’ve all been on and a hopeful catharsis of what we have learned,” reflects Snook. “Under the pandemic,  we’ve all had to confront death in a new way, take a hard look in the mirror, and gain a new perspective on how to live life. This production is a ritualized journey towards the hope of rebirth.”

“This production explores all that the pandemic brought to light in regards to the best and worst of humanity, and how plagues do not discriminate, we are all in this together although we are each going through our own individual nightmares and struggles,” says UNC Asheville student Izzy Mayfield, a biology major/ drama minor performing in the movement ensemble.

The student cast includes Wyeth Bishop (Music Ensemble), Noah Brackett (Music Ensemble), Stephen Clark (Spoken Word Ensemble), Kiarra Driscoll (Acting Ensemble), Izzy Mayfield (Acting Ensemble), Alex Mbuthia (Music Ensemble), Kai Moskow (Music Ensemble), Zoe Newton (Spoken Word Ensemble), Gabe Nicholson (Movement Ensemble), Miracle Okoro (Spoken Word Ensemble), Samantha Schroder (Acting Ensemble), L.A. Setu (Movement & Music Ensembles), and Layla Zeferino (Movement & Music Ensembles), with Brónagh O’Shea (Stage
Manager) and Alex McFadden and Maggie Schall (Assistant Stage Managers) in production roles.

Saluda Train Tales is a free monthly event to educate the community of the importance of Saluda’s railroad history and the Saluda Grade, the steepest, standard gauge, mainline railroad in the US. Storytelling is the third Friday of the month at 7pm, March through December.

written and performed by Mike Wiley

On May 24, 1961, 19-year old Jean Thompson boarded a Trailways bus in Montgomery, Alabama with 11 other young Freedom Riders bound for New Orleans – and history. Within three months, approximately 300 other riders took up the mantle to desegregate buses, following the path of the first brave few. Mobs bloodily assaulted many. Others were arrested. Wiley’s drama BREACH OF PEACE is based on true accounts of surviving participants of the Freedom Rides and others involved in the early struggle for African-American equality. This solo-play is a living monument to those remarkable young men and women of various races, religions and backgrounds who rose to face the dangers of fighting for just and equal treatment for all.

Dracula: The Failings of Men

Elwood P. Dowd is an affable man who claims to have an unseen (and presumably imaginary) friend Harvey — whom Elwood describes as a six-foot, three-and-one-half-inch tall pooka resembling an anthropomorphic rabbit. Elwood introduces Harvey to everyone he meets. His social-climbing sister, Veta, increasingly finds his eccentric behavior embarrassing. She decides to have him committed but things… don’t go as planned. This Pulitzer Prize winning play is considered to be one of the greatest comedies ever written. Of course, it all gets sorted out in the end, but there are many surprises (as well as comic doses of wisdom) along the way, as everyone questions just what exactly is real.

In the quaint village of Sleepy hollow, stories of wonder and strangeness surround the legend of a mighty headless Hessian. When the humble schoolteacher Ichabod Crane vies for the hand of the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel, the townsfolk might protest, but it is ultimately the Horseman who will decide his fate.
