As you know, Flat Rock Playhouse has gone “dark” at this time as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. While we continue our work behind-the-scenes, we are closed to the public. We would like to use this time to spread positivity and entertainment for our patrons.
We have invited Vagabonds from all over to submit videos for our Facebook page. Our Vagabond Videos are already underway, and you can see Scott Treadway reprise his role as Arles from the Tuna series, Bill Muñoz and his family perform a song, Erin Rubico and her husband Matt Ban teach you how to make a special Elvis-inspired recipe, and more! Tune in to our Facebook page Monday – Friday over the next few weeks for the one-of-a-kind videos by your FRP favorites.

Part eulogy, part game of pretend, Storm Still follows the three Lear sisters as they gather together to clean out their recently deceased father’s house, acting out a ridiculous and cathartic version of Shakespeare’s King Lear in their childhood backyard.
Many shows that come to Broadway are inspired by other works, sometimes a book, a movie, a play, or something else entirely. These 12 shows all started as plays before they were adapted into films, which in turn became musicals and movie musicals.

We will reopen with Million Dollar Quartet in mid-July. The remainder of the season will proceed as planned beginning with Jumping Jack Flash – The Music of the Rolling Stones on August 20th. Steel Magnolias and our summer musicals, A Chorus Line, and West Side Story, will be moved to the 2021 season.
In response to Government guidelines, and for the safety of our staff and customers, the box office will close Friday, April 3rd and plans to re-open Monday, April 27th. Patrons with questions can refer to the Playhouse website www.FlatRockPlayhouse.org for answers to frequently asked questions and/or to find ways to help support FRP at this critical time. Folks can also email us at [email protected].
We plan to stay in touch with you over these coming weeks. And don’t miss videos from some of
your favorite Playhouse stars on our social media channels: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and
Youtube. Also watch for them in Playhouse emails.
Interpretive Rangers are available to lead guided hikes, bird walks and wildflower walks for families and groups that visit Grandfather Mountain. To see the mountain in this whole new way, you can schedule an appointment by calling the interpretive ranger office at (828) 737-0833 or emailing [email protected].
Please note that walks and hikes are available for all ability levels, but hikes that take you into Grandfather Mountain’s backcountry require careful footwork, proper footwear and the ability to handle heights. All backcountry hikes require participants to traverse ladders and use cables to navigate steep sections of the trail.
Interpretive Rangers are available year-round (weather permitting) to lead guided hikes to:
| MacRae Peak | ($15 + park admission) |
| Attic Window | ($25 + park admission) |
| Calloway Peak | ($35 + park admission) |
Reservations must be made at least two weeks in advance, and a minimum of two participants per hike are required. For more information, please call (828) 737-0833.
The South Bank’s Globe Theatre has closed its doors for now, but it also has an online catalogue of filmed performances to feast on.
Globe Player has paid-for recordings of many of the theatre’s Shakespeare adaptations spanning more than 10 years, including Mark Rylance and Stephen Fry in Twelfth Night; Jonathan Pryce as the Merchant of Venice; Emma Rice’s naughty telling of A Midsummer Night’s Dream; Adetomiwa Edun and Ellie Kendrick in the 2009 production of Romeo and Juliet; and Lucy Bailey’s bloodthirsty Titus Andronicus.
Watching one of these for your sofa is probably more comfortable than being a groundling at the theatre itself, although you’ll pay roughly the same to rent, as you usually would for the cheapest tickets in the house.
If you’re particularly barmy about the Bard, bundles of nine different seasons at the Globe are also available to buy.
Free content on Globe Player is admittedly limited, although there’s some interesting behind-the-scenes content to check out.
Curious George is back and ready to cook as he helps Chef Pisghetti get ready for his once-a-year All-You-Can-Eat Meatball Day! But a new, corner-cutting meatball maker intercepts Pisghetti’s crowd and ruins the day.
Admitting defeat, Pisghetti announces he will hang up his apron for good. But George believes his friend is the best meatball chef, and decides to enter him in the Golden Meatball Contest to prove it.
When Pisghetti gets lost on his way to the contest, George must stand in for him, and cook the meatballs on his own. The determined little monkey tries his very hardest, but can he help win the contest without the Pisghetti’s super-secret ingredient?
This musical story of encouragement, determination and selfless love will warm hearts and tummies alike!
Music by John Kavanaugh; Book and Lyrics by Jeremy Desmon; Based on the Books by Margret and H.A. Rey and the Play Owned by Universal Stage Productions; Theatre for Young Audiences; Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.MTIShows.com.
Most enjoyed by children, ages 3 and up.
