GHOSTED: COMEDY WALKING TOUR
COVID has postponed our bus tours, but it won’t stop us from laughing! Our brand new experience is an up tempo theatrical walking tour of haunted Asheville. You and 13 others will depart from the LaZoom Room and follow an undead guide through Asheville’s creepy streets in search of window into the past. Along the way, we’ll encounter real ghosts that will have you jumping out of your skin. Not really! Or really? Take the tour and find out!

Ticket holders for this streaming performance will view from home on the event date using a computer or mobile phone and an internet connection. Ticket holders will recieve a unique viewing link via email prior to the performance.
One minute, you’re cruising down the road of life, and the next, the wheels of the car fly off! How do you repair and regroup in order to carry on? Join performance storyteller and humorist Murphy Funkhouser Capps for a “hysterical” and very human night of reflection about the year our lives collectively, and personally, came to a screeching halt. Murphy’s stories have been called “hilarious and poignant observations that hit right at the heart”. Recorded live at the Diana Wortham Theatre and streaming Friday, October 23 at 7:30pm.

Our Ideal Volunteer Tutor
The ideal volunteer tutor is someone seeking to make a one-year commitment of two hours per week to help someone else make the change of a lifetime. For our volunteer tutors, an education background is helpful, but not necessary. The most important qualities are patience, an open mind, and resourcefulness. Tutors also need to be non-judgmental and sensitive to cultural differences. A GED or high school diploma is required. Ideal tutors enjoy seeing concrete outcomes from their efforts and sharing in the life-changing successes of others. See our full tutor position description here.

What is a Haywood Road Clean Up Day?
A morning where volunteers work to pick up litter (trash and recycling) along the Haywood Road corridor with the support of the West Asheville Business Association.
How is this event different from other WABA cleanup days?
Safety is our top priority when working with and in the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of restrictions to gatherings and use of public spaces, we will not be providing volunteers breakfast prior to the cleanup. You can review Asheville GreenWorks Communicable Disease Volunteer Guidelines here.
How do I participate?
1-RSVP using this registration form
2-Pick out your costume for the clean up day – you may win a prize!
3-Meet at the Trinity United Methodist Church parking lot on Balm Grove Road on Saturday October 31st at 10am to receive your gear and instructions
4-Head out to pick up of trash and recycling along the Haywood Road corridor and side streets
5-Return your gear to Asheville GreenWorks
Is this a family-friendly event?
Yes, although not recommended for very small children. Haywood Road is a busy street and it is important that you and your children stay alert and safe throughout the clean up.
Should I bring anything?
Asheville GreenWorks will provide gloves, safety vests, and trash bags for everyone. WABA will provide trash grabbers. Please bring any personal items, including snacks and water, that you need.
