The Jungle is STILL Jumping TONIGHT!
WHEW! That was a close one! The worst part of the storm is moving south towards Henderson County and Saluda. Also, temperatures have climbed to well-above freezing and it looks like we’ll be spared too much iciness. Also, the show starts and ends early enough that everyone will have more than enough time to get home safely.
That means that Jungle Book, Kids is ON! We know that a lot of you have friends and family in town just for the show, and we DO NOT want to disappoint. The kids are ready and the show is awesome!
Call-time is 5pm and the show will go on at 6pm.
Be sure to join us and forget about the cold weather when the jungle heats up for Jungle Book, Kids!

The Roof is too Icy for the Fiddler Tonight
The threat of icy roads is very high for this evening. That means tonight’s performance of Fiddler on the Roof is cancelled. This performance has been tentatively rescheduled for Sunday at 3pm. Call-time for the show is 1:30pm at Isaac Dickson Elementary.
Saturday’s performance will still run as scheduled, for the time being. Please check back on this blog tomorrow to make sure. We’ll keep you posted if there are any changes necessary.

Benefit for Haiti Earthquake Victims
The Academy students of the Asheville Arts Center will be reviving their national award winning performance of ONCE ON THIS ISLAND JR. on February 6th at 7pm as a benefit for the earthquake relief in Haiti.
St. Matthias (1 Dundee Street, Asheville) has graciously offered us the use of their space and we’re really excited about holding such an opportunity for such a good cause! These people are suffering and need all the help they can get.
The students are eager to help Haiti any way that they can, so please help spread the word about this performance.
Click here to view the organization we’re working with. The beautiful thing about this is that 100% of Donations will go directly to feeding the children who are earthquake victims. This is especially exciting to us because it is kids helping kids.
