Two Stars in the Vast Dark & King Arthur’s Body
Asheville-based Faerietale Theatre is reprising two shows from the March 2024 Asheville Fringe Arts Festival, where both were sold-out successes. They will be presented as a double bill at The BeBe Theatre in downtown Asheville, September 20-22, 2024, on the weekend of the Blue Ridge Pride Festival.
Death Comes to Play
Performances Thursdays-Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., October 3-19. On a dark, stormy night, in a remote location, the celebration of a 75-year-old’s birthday is upended by the arrival of a mysterious, uninvited guest who turns out to be…fun? Let the games begin! The Sublime Theater presents the world premiere of Death Comes To Play, written and directed by Steven Samuels.
Nevermore
This unique and wildly theatrical musical combines haunting music and poetic storytelling to chronicle the fascinating life of iconic American writer Edgar Allan Poe. Originally produced by Catalyst Theatre of Edmonton, Canada in 2009 to commemorate the bicentennial of Poe’s birth (January 19, 1809), Nevermore has toured extensively, playing acclaimed engagements throughout Canada and in London at the prestigious Barbican Center. The show’s engagement in 2010 at New Victory Theatre was greeted by wildly enthusiastic audiences and sold-out houses.
