Asheville Set for a Theatrical Treat with NC Stage Company’s 2024 Season

Asheville, get ready to be entertained! The NC Stage Company is gearing up for a fantastic 2024 season, featuring two spectacular productions that are sure to delight audiences of all ages. First up is the whimsical comedy Jeeves Saves the Day, and following that will be the powerful one-man play Thurgood. Both shows are set to bring a mix of laughter and thought-provoking themes to the stage.

The Hilarious World of Jeeves Awaits

Jeeves Saves the Day, based on the beloved stories by renowned author P.G. Wodehouse, is a light-hearted reflection on aristocratic antics in early 20th century England. This delightful play, adapted by Margaret Raether, takes audiences on a rollercoaster ride starring the charming and often bewildered character of Bertie Wooster. Bertie finds himself wrapped up in a series of comical complications involving his relatives, including a formidable Aunt Agatha, the bumbling cousin Egbert, and his rather intimidating future father-in-law.

Directed by the talented Angie Flynn-McIver, this production promises plenty of belly laughs, mishaps, and a trusty butler named Jeeves who swoops in to save the day. Performances for Jeeves Saves the Day will run until February 16, with shows scheduled on Wednesdays through Saturdays at 7:30 PM, plus matinee performances on Sundays at 2 PM. It’s a great opportunity for a fun night out or a weekend family affair!

With tickets ranging from just $10 for students to $24-48 for general admission, it’s a pocket-friendly way to dive into a world of fun and fancy. For all the details on purchasing tickets, including availability, simply head over to www.ncstage.org. The NC Stage Company is located at the charming 15 Stage Lane, Asheville, NC, making it an easy spot for a delightful evening out.

Reflecting on Civil Rights with Thurgood

Jeeves Saves the Day, the NC Stage Company will shift gears with Thurgood, a one-man biographical drama that pays tribute to one of America’s most influential figures—Thurgood Marshall, the first African American Supreme Court Justice. This compelling work, crafted by George Stevens, Jr., recounts Marshall’s journey and monumental contributions to civil rights.

With actor K.P. Powell stepping into the role of Marshall, audiences can expect a riveting portrayal that delves into the life and legacy of this trailblazing figure. The play takes a close look at Marshall’s pivotal role in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case that effectively dismantled legal racial segregation in American public schools. Notably, its run coincides with the 70th Anniversary of the Brown ruling, creating a profound reflection on progress in civil rights.

Thurgood will grace the stage from April 26 to May 19, 2024, with both matinee and evening performances. Ticket prices range from $28 to $48, with budget-friendly options like Pay What You Can Friday and Half Price Ticket Saturday offered to ensure everyone can experience this significant piece of theatre.
