THE LOVE TALKER

FROST/NIXON
Nov 4 all-day
North Carolina Stage Company

Wednesdays – Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sunday Matinees at 2:00pm
Additional Saturday Matinees on October 27 and November 3, 2018
British talk-show host David Frost has become a lowbrow laughingstock. Richard M. Nixon has just resigned the United States presidency in total disgrace over Vietnam and the Watergate scandal. Determined to resurrect his career, Frost risks everything on a series of in-depth interviews in order to extract an apology from Nixon. The cagey Nixon, however, is equally bent on redeeming himself in his nation’s eyes. In the television age, image is king, and both men are desperate to out-talk and upstage each other as the cameras roll. The result is the interview that sealed a president’s legacy.

“Structured as a prize fight between two starkly ambitious men in professional crisis, FROST/NIXON makes it clear that the competitor who controls the camera reaps the spoils.” —NY Times.

Brewed for Asheville’s one-of-a-kind musical marvel, the annual Christmas Jam, this session ale features bright hop flavors of citrus and stone fruit with just a hint of piney hop character–all in a well-balanced and easy-going package, just right for jam-worthy drinkability.

Selwyn Birchwood-
“With his fiery guitar and lap steel playing, his trailblazing, instantly memorable songs and gritty, unvarnished vocals, Birchwood is among the most extraordinary young stars in the blues. His deep familiarity with blues tradition allows him to bust the genre wide open, adding new sounds, colors and textures, all delivered with a revival tent preacher’s fervor and a natural storyteller’s charisma.”

Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity-
“Safe and decent housing provides families an opportunity for stability, security and personal and professional advancement. Yes, we build houses and help preserve existing homes, but we also change lives.”

Metamorphoses
Nov 15 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Carol Belk Theatre

“Metamorphoses” condenses Ovid’s epic and selects the most powerful myths to illustrate the theme of change. The gods, though “not altogether unkind,” exert their influence on the mortal world by dramatically interfering with the lives of humans.
From Midas to Orpheus, and from Alcyone to Baucis, mortals undergo various metamorphoses, or physical changes, which reflect their internal traits. Hubris is punished, while charity and love are rewarded. To stress the timeless nature of these myths, some take place in antiquity, while others have anachronistic references to better tie their stories to today. These myths, however, offer more than just simple morals like the importance of humility and piety. “Metamorphoses” also shows why myths themselves retain importance and relevance.

Warren Wilson Farm Meat and Craft Sale
Nov 17 all-day
Warren Wilson Farm Granary

Hey y’all!

It’s time again for our annual Fall Meat Sale! The first pick-up date is November 17th.

You can access our pre-order form link here:
https://www.warren-wilson.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Fall-Order-form-2018.pdf

The Fall Meat Sale gives you the opportunity to purchase our meats in bulk for a discount! We will be offering our usual grass-fed beef, grass-fed lamb, and pork packages. All of our meat is raised without growth promotants or antibiotics, and is grazed on pesticide and herbicide free pasture.

NEW THIS YEAR! We’re so excited to introduce a SALUMI SAMPLER this year! This package includes one of each of our dry-cured products, a hot sopressata, a sweet sopressata, and a spanish-style dry cured chorizo. This package is available for pre-order for $30, a savings of 10% . Salumi will also be available separately at our retail area at the sale.
We will also be offering LEAF LARD for the first time ever! Leaf Lard will be available in a quart sized container at the retail counter at the sale. Leaf Lard offers you the chance to get your cooking fat from a truly local source, as opposed to olive oil from California or canola oil from the midwest. It is flavorless and has a high smoke point, and will be chock full of Omega-3’s because it comes from pastured pork.

At the sale, we will also be selling retail items by the pound. These products will include our steaks, roasts, ground beef, lamb, ground pork, breakfast sausage, link sausages, and organs. You can access our retail price list here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LTA5XqqwXJYToldURfk2vsH1fRUihitXRHhqYVBMZ5c/edit?usp=sharing

Additionally, we will be joined by the Warren Wilson Garden, Herb, Horse, and Craft Crews, who will all be selling their produce and wares. Come prepared to get all of your veggie and craft needs!

There will be samples, wagon-rides, and live music, so be sure to come out and bring the whole family!

Please feel free to email us at [email protected] or call us at 828-771-3014 with any questions or concerns.

You’ll find painters, potters, weavers, blacksmiths and leather workers, to name a few, along with delectable treats from one of Asheville’s favorite food trucks and OWL Bakery. Enjoy a delightful day of handcrafted holiday shopping, a stroll around the island, and a wander through historic downtown Marshall, NC.
