An Enchanting Musical

A music and dance spectacular in Asheville for one week only! An incredible opportunity to see a big stage musical within the wonderful, intimate 500-seat Diana Wortham Theatre.

Brilliant Berlin!
- Boston Globe

. . . a powerhouse of delights. - The Edge, Boston

Rousing and toe-tapping . . . - Variety

Set magically to the beloved songs of Irving Berlin, I Love A Piano is a treat for those who love musical theatre, the bright lights of Broadway, or just a great entertaining night out at the theatre! This show provides a unique view of American history through the tunes we know by heart, while celebrating the outstanding seven-decade career of Irving Berlin through the life of the one possession that knew him best: his ancient honky-tonk piano. A musical extravaganza with spectacular singing, music, dancing and more.

Magical Dance

Treat yourself: kick off the 2008 Mainstage Dance Series with thrilling dance company MOMIX's stunning performances of "Lunar Sea." See the show The New York Times calls “A joyous, fantastic, magical multimedia creation! Lunar Sea celebrates the joy of spectacle -- an eye-popping mind-boggling production.” MOMIX Artistic Director Moses Pendleton says of "Lunar Sea" that he was working "to devise a ballet as if you were witnessing it on the moon with one-sixth of the Earth’s gravity".

Pre-performance Discussions: Free pre-performance discussions with Amy Dowling from the Western Carolina University Dance Department will be held at 7:00 p.m. in the Forum at Pack Place before each MOMIX performance.

Love dance? Check out these shows as the Mainstage Dance Series continues:
Garth Fagan Dance: March 4 & 5
