Incubator Series Presents: Pete & Pickles, a staged reading

Staged reading. Based on the children’s book by Berkeley Breathed, and adapted for the stage by Katie Jones, Pete & Pickles is about Pete, a perfectly practical, predictable, pig, who lives an uncomplicated, solitary life… until he unexpectedly rescues a runaway circus elephant, named Pickles. Pickles is spontaneous, imaginative and beautifies everything in her path. Before Pete realizes it, his life is changed forever, and he finds himself swan-diving off of Niagara Falls, skiing down the Matterhorn, and singing love songs on the canals of Venice. This story is about the healing power of imagination and storytelling, and the beauty of unexpected friendships.

Reservations recommended, but not required. Admission is pay-what-you-can, with a suggestion of $10, collected at the door. All proceeds support new, live theater.

Email: info@ashevillecreativearts.org to make your reservation today.
