Review of Synergy Story Slam
From a near-missed border crossing in Turkey, to a cycling trip across America and a spring break flash-people-when-driving-on-the-Parkway venture gone wrong, Synergy Story Slam offers live, often hilarious, stories by anyone brave enough take the stage.
Even more to do this weekend
Now that you’ve had a moment to peruse Smart Bets and This Weekend on a Shoestring and Clubland and this week’s features, you’re probably ready to plan your weekend. But wait! There’s more! And if you order in the next three minutes we’ll throw in this set of Ginsu knives! (Not really.) But you can check out Heather Luttrell (pictured) plus an art opening, a play and more.
Review of The Last Flapper
Christy Bishop portrays Zelda Fitzgerald in this one-woman show with as much virtuosity, as much invention and commitment as one will ever see on stage. Anywhere.
The Last Flapper
The play depicting the life of Zelda Fitzgerald just before her death in the Highland Hospital fire of 1948.
Review of When Jekyll Met Hyde
Dr. Jekyll may be right that two souls dwell in every person, but he has missed the full import of that discovery, for Hyde is not only sexier than Jekyll, he’s smarter, too.
Review of Dogfall
The uneven production never quite gains the momentum it needs, mired in script issues and deficient direction, and in the end the punch the production hopes to delivers is largely deflated.

It takes superb actors to play badly on purpose without winking, and both Steve Lloyd and Casey Morris are brilliantly up to the task in David Mamet’s comedy.

Review of A Christmas Carol
Overall, the story of the play was obscured by the script’s choppiness and lack of demonstrable journey by its main character.
A crass look at the holidays with the Bernstein Family
Despite some obvious (and childish) humor, The 27th Annual Bernstein Family Christmas Spectacular features suburb acting from some of Asheville’s best, and it’s a welcome break from the often stressful and far too uptight holiday season.
Review of A Christmas Carol
Flat Rock’s Christmas Carol is a lovely treat.
Review of Masters of Vaudeville
The show was short on flesh (Madame Onça’s bare midriff being the most consistently on display), surprisingly long on song, and perhaps not as rich in comedy and variety as the vaudeville moniker would suggest.
A Christmas Story at ACT
This family-friendly, kid-actor-packed stage version of the much-loved 1983 film still turns up from surprised. A plenty of laughs.
Review of It’s a Wonderful Life
If you like your Christmas fare retro, radio-oriented and polished, George Bailey’s catharsis awaits, familiar and new all at the same time and doused in good will and cheer.
Review of Listen to This
Part performance, part storytelling (but not a “tellebration”, Chalmers pointed out), the Listen to This series offers a laid-back atmosphere for performers to tell largely personal stories linked by an overarching theme, mostly to comedic effect.
Big Bang at the BeBe Theatre
If you missed the latest offering at Asheville’s BeBe Theatre, you missed what was surely one of this fall’s most exciting programs of live performance.
