The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

March 17-19, 2017

Friday at 7:30 pm; Saturday and Sunday at 2:30 pm

 

Performed by our Youth Production Class and at the Carol Belk Theatre at UNC Asheville.

This new dramatization of C.S. Lewis’ classic, set in the land of Narnia, faithfully recreates the magic and mystery of Aslan, the great lion, and his struggle with the White Witch, and the adventures of four children who inadvertently wander from an old wardrobe into an exciting and never-to-be-forgotten world. This story of love, faith, courage and giving, with its triumph of good over evil, is a true celebration of life.

Directed by Bradshaw Call * Tickets are $6.00 * Performed for kids by kids!

Kabir Singers in Concert

Monday, March 20, 2017 – 7:00pm
Performance: Humanities Lecture Hall
Free and open to the public. No tickets required.

The Kabir Singers, featuring Prahlad Singh Tipanya, bring to life the expressive journeys of the 15th century north Indian mystic poet as well as other Bhakti and Sufi saints whose visions still resonate with our contemporary world. Tipanya-ji and his group will perform in Humanities Lecture Hall.

Prahlad Singh Tipanya is a locally, nationally, and internationally acclaimed folk singer from Lunyakhedi, a small village in Madhya Pradesh, India. He is renowned for his singing and interpretation of Kabir, the great fifteenth-century Hindi poet who is famous for both his profound mystical insight and his sharp social commentary.

Tipanya-ji, a village schoolteacher with no musical tradition in his family, began singing and playing the tambura in the folk style of the Malwa region in 1978. Nearly four decades later he is a household name, and his voice has been heard on All India Radio stations in many cities. In 2011 he received the prestigious Padma Shri award, one of the highest honors bestowed by the Government of India.
