Madison C. Brightwell (a Weaverville resident) will read from and discuss her new novel – The World Beyond the Redbud Tree.

This novel was written by Brightwell during the COVID pandemic as a response to what she saw as a world that needed some healing and hope. The novel is set partly right here in Weaverville, and partly in a fantasy parallel universe, in which our teenage heroine, Charli, discovers a Utopian world where different and better choices were made – a world in which the native peoples were embraced by the white colonists and not destroyed by them, which created a harmonious and peaceful society. Madison hopes to inspire readers of the book to think about how we can all contribute to making the world a better place.

This event will feature…

An interview with the author,
Q&A with the audience,
A performance of an extract from the book by local actors,
Local musicians, and
A book signing by the author at the end of the evening.

Every Sunday evening Modelface Comedy brings you the best comedians from all over the country

Raw, absurd and fast-paced, Jessica Michelle Singleton (JMS) is a powerhouse of comedy in a teeny tiny package, known by fans for her high energy, overly honest, dark and dirty performances. She’s co-hosts the hilarious comedy podcast “Slobs” with the hilarious Steph Tolev, has two #1 comedy albums, writes for Theo Von and wrote for the Roast of Whitney Cummings. She’s a Paid Regular at The Comedy Store (as seen on the Showtime series of the same name), and headlines tours all over the world from the US to Asia, and Europe down to South Africa.

Her standup has been seen on “DON’T TELL COMEDY” and “ILIZA’S LOCALS”—a standup series produced by Iliza Shlesinger featuring the best rising comedians in Los Angeles. Additionally, she’s been a guest on Bert Kreischer’s “Bertcast” and “Gettin’ Better with Ron Funches”, and toured with/wrote for Melissa Villasenor of Saturday Night Live. She has also released multiple charting country songs as “Norma Lee Wilde” because she’s an extremely versatile piece of trash.
