“We are heartbroken to have to make this decision,” said producing artistic director Lisa K. Bryant. “With state-mandated limitations on gathering sizes for the foreseeable future, as well as recent information that union rules for actors returning to work may not even be issued until summer, it is now clear we cannot reopen in mid-July as we had hoped. The right decision for the long-term health of the Playhouse and for our patrons is to move the entire 2020 season to 2021.” This decision was ratified unanimously by the Playhouse Board of Trustees.
Asheville Community Theatre is one of many organizations working to provide online content during the COVID-19 pandemic. The organization is requesting video submissions of songs that make us happy. Participants are encouraged to submit videos with the hashtag #ACTHappyHour on Asheville Community Theatre’s Facebook page and look out for themes and other challenges. Then, every day, 5-6 p.m view the videos queued up for the ACT Happy Hour Watch Party.

She’s a woman wronged – wronged by a little girl in blue gingham. And her little dog, too. But the bike-riding, Toto-endangering spinster gets to set the record straight in this uproariously funny, off- Broadway musical featuring the wit and wisdom of Almira Gulch, last seen bicycling away from the Gale farm with Toto in tow. The years since The Wizard of Oz have not been kind to Almira and she laments about life, love and liquor. Mark Jones stars in this one-man show.
Miss Gulch Returns! is recommended for mature audiences only. Though the title references a character from The Wizard of Oz, this is not a show for children.
