* Because of the COVID-19 virus pandemic we will be circling in an online virtual space via ZOOM. I will be posting the link in the event and on the facebook page.
Hello Dear Sisters and fellow Priestesses! This will be the fourth in our red tent-celebrating the 5 elements series! If you couldn’t make it to the first, no worries there is no requirement to attend them all. This month the new moon will be in Taurus, so we we be honoring the element of Earth. We will be using some rituals and readings from Daniel Dulsky’s “The Holy Wild”. Feel free to purchase the book if you would like (its AMAZING), but it is not necessary :).
Please arrive wearing red, and be prepared to enter sacred space with your sisters. Adorn yourself for this circle my sisters, you will be attending a “wedding”, and you will be the bride. You will be marrying yourself my Queen! Dedicating YOUR life to YOU and the Earth that is you! Please bring an item to your alter to be blessed that represents what “Earth” and “Taurus” means to you :). I also recommend bringing a nice plump pomegranate or red apple to the meeting. We will be eating them as a symbolic gesture honoring our initiation and journey. I also recommend taking a nice hot ritual bath with salts and oils before attending, it will help to further ingrain the luxurious taurus energy, cleanse your energy field, and help to root you into your soft animal body, further preparing you for circle. Of course these are not requirements, just suggestions to help you embody this energy:)))!
I do a lot of planning, reading, meditating, writing, and buying sacred items for our circles. This is why I am humbly asking for donation based contributions. To those that are financially affected by this virus, please know your presence will be your gift. To those that still have the means, I humbly ask for your support. Suggested donation will be $5-$20 :). Thank you so much in advance for your contributions to the sisterhood. It’s because of community that we are able to gather and strengthen one another
ASAP has launched the Appalachian Grown Farmer Relief Fund to
strategically address the emergency needs of farms during COVID-19 disruptions. Funds will be used for public health preparedness grants to farmers markets, to subsidize essential farm product packaging, and to purchase unsold food for donation to hunger programs. Donations to the Appalachian Grown Farmer Relief Fund can be made online at asapconnections.org or by mail or phone.
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.
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.

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.
North Carolina Arts Council, ComeHearNC.com and CLTure present “Under One Roof,” a livestream benefit concert for North Carolina artists.
The event will feature North Carolina musicians spanning multiple genres and generations, including Anthony Hamilton, 9th Wonder, Ben Folds, The Hamiltones NC, Petey Pablo, Tift Merritt, Jim Lauderdale, Steep Canyon Rangers, Chatham County Line, Joe Troop of Che Apalache, Harvey Cummings II, and more to be announced!
Organized in partnership with CLTure.org as part of the North Carolina Arts Council and North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources’ Come Hear North Carolina initiative, “Under One Roof” brings together some of North Carolina biggest names in music to aid the community in these unprecedented times.
Under One Roof will raise funds for the North Carolina Arts Foundation, a nonprofit established in 2013 to promote the growth and sustainability of the N.C. Arts Council. The foundation will send all proceeds raised from Under One Roof to non-profit arts organizations in North Carolina that have established relief funds for artists in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Under One Roof will broadcast live on this Facebook event page and Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/clturemedia) from 8 p.m. – 9 p.m. ET on Friday, April 24, Saturday April 25, and Sunday April 26.
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.

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.
