It is recommended that passengers unload at Pack Square Park before the bus is parked in the lot.

HART’s Main Stage

HART’s Main Stage
Directed by Candice Dickinson

There is trouble in River City, Iowa when con artist Harold Hill rolls into town. Hill poses as a boys’ band organizer and sells uniforms and instruments to the naive midwestern folk, planning to leave town before he ever has to teach a single music lesson. But those plans are turned on their head when Harold Hill meets the clever town Librarian, Marian Paroo. One of the most universally cherished treasures of American musical theater, The Music Man was an instant smash hit when it premiered on Broadway in 1957, winning five Tony Awards, and going on to a long career of revivals, tours, and regional performances.  The Smithsonian Institution ranks The Music Man as one of the “great glories” of American popular culture. Don’t miss this summer smash hit!

Suitable for all audiences.

THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
Jul 23 @ 7:30 pm
Hendersonville Theatre

Music & Lyrics by William Finn
Book By Rachel Sheinkin
Conceived by Rebecca Feldman
Additional Materials by Jay Reiss
Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine
Originally Produced on Broadway by David Stone, James L. Nederlander, Barbara Whitman, Patrick Catullo, Barrington Stage Company, Second Stage Theatre
Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com

DIRECTED BY HEATHER DENTON

In this Tony award-winning musical, six awkward spelling champions vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the champions spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, six spellers enter; one speller wins!

Robin Bullock + Steve Baughman
Jul 23 @ 8:00 pm
White Horse Black Mountain

Robin Bullock & Steve Baughman: July 23, 2022

  • The magnificently rich sound of two acoustic guitars conjures up the ancient musical landscapes of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brittany in the hands of Celtic guitar masters Steve Baughman and Robin Bullock.
  • These two virtuosos together in concert, surrounded by guitars (and the occasional cittern, mandolin or banjo) and completely relaxed with their audience, form an irresistible onstage synergy. Traditional airs, jigs and reels blend with the timeless harp compositions of Ireland’s legendary bard Turlough O’Carolan, hypnotic Breton dances, rollicking Appalachian fiddle tunes and soulful meditations from both sides of the Atlantic, as two of North America’s leading Celtic guitarists join forces to create a uniquely beautiful sonic experience.
West Side Story

With a score by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, West Side Story is widely regarded as among the best musicals ever written.

THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
Jul 24 @ 3:00 pm
Hendersonville Theatre
Music By The Lake featuring Apple Country String Band
Jul 24 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Blue Ridge Community College

Since 2017, Apple Country String Band (ACSB) has been playing Americana music around Hendersonville, NC. Mixing folk, blues, country, rock and bluegrass the group of veteran musicians play music people like to hear on acoustic stringed instruments.

“We don’t get together every week to learn hard songs,” says founding band member Steve Pettis. “We like to identify songs that we really enjoy, can learn really quickly and that we think people will know. Our repertoire consists of over 200 songs. Like Tom Petty once said, ‘Don’t bore us, get to the chorus!’ ”

Steve Pettis moved to the area from Athens, GA where he formed and played with the Red Oak Southern String Band for 10 years. One day after moving to Hendersonville, Steve ran into fellow musician and friend Chris Price. The two played together previously in Athens back in 2003 with a local cowboy group. After reuniting, the two immediately started jamming and it was not long before they were appearing as ACSB. Now the band consists of up to 7 members including Bruce ‘Boomer’ Stowe on bass, Joe Alexander on banjo, Charlotte Dillard on fiddle, Jim ‘The Bee Man’ Poe on guitar and Bryan ‘B2’ Byrd on percussion and vocals. The group recorded tracks for the recent documentary ‘Moonshine in the Mountains’ produced by the Center of Cultural Preservation. ACSB performs regularly at local farmers markets and other venues.

This free series of concerts takes place on the east side of the lake, behind the Technology, Education and Development Center.

John Ford is a traveling blues singer songwriter from Cincinnati, and regularly performs in places like St. Louis, Mobile, Alabama and Clarksdale, Mississippi. He has shared the stage with the likes of Cedric Burnside and Ruthie Foster.
