BUGS!
by Jonesalee
lead artists Abby Felder (direction), Blakeney Bullock (choreography), Brenda Gambill and Gina Stewart (creators / musical directors)

When a band of buskers are magically transformed into insects, they must listen to and learn from one another before being returned to their human form. Will they? Comprised of a series of vignettes, this immersive musical spectacle observes and explores the tiny, teeming insect world, in a funny and uplifting experience that asks us to pause, look closely and consider the little things.

With: Edwin Salas Acosta (Horsefly), Holly Heveron-Smith (Mantis, Drums), Jake Donham (Wooly Worm, Keys, Bass), Laura Blackley (Guitar, Busker Band Leader), and Tristan Cameron (Ladybug)

Puppets/Costumes: Edwin Salas Acosta

The Social Justice League (5-10yrs)

We’re assembling a team of young superheroes to tackle discrimination and injustice wherever they find it. Introducing: The Social Justice League!

The Social Justice League is seven month training program for kids hosted by Dancing Bear Toys and Spellbound Children’s Bookshop. Each month will focus on a different social justice theme. We’ll host monthly workshops with local nonprofits and assign kids Superhero Homework to complete by the end of the month. When they turn in their Superhero Homework, they’ll get a prize from a different local business. The program is designed to empower kids to recognize and stand up to injustice in their own communities.

Join us Saturday, April 8 for our first event of the season! We’re pairing with the YWCA of Asheville to host an anti-racism training program. This program is geared towards kids ages 5-10. If you attend the event, and turn in your “Superhero Homework,” you’ll get a free scoop of ice cream from Ultimate Ice Cream Company Asheville!
