This fast-paced, rollicking collection of short plays, featuring fantastically funny females and madly misbehaving men is a laugh-out-load adventure for all.You’ll encounter women who are brilliant, baffling and know a conscience is what hurts when other parts feel sooo good.And you’ll find men who are confident, strong and who are so brave they dare to drink water… just to surprise their livers.You’ll meet Vivacia, a Southern social media star, whose singular quest is to elevate the mediocre standard of American funeral foods.You’ll witness two good ol’ Texas boys, long-time buds, struggling to achieve the impossible – an honest conversation about the meaning of life… and of course, sports.You’ll spend time with two cousins isolated in a cabin in Indiana, struggling to compose a eulogy for a family funeral – if ony they could think of one positive word to say about the deceased.After spending a morningwith Ennis and Della, a pair of self-proclaimed octogenarian fitness gurus, appalled by the lack of participation by the residents of the Stairway to Heaven Retirement Community, yo’ll share an afternoon with theatre royalty in Manhattan’s Upper East Side.There you’ll witness three theatre legends – world class hams, all – vie for ‘best friend’ status as they compete for the white-hot heat of the spotlight in the hospital room of their lifelong colleague… and rival.And these are just a few of the unfoorgettable women and men you’ll meet in these delightful short plays that rapidly build to a riproaring climax.In short, you’ll experience the story of all our lives, which boils down to ‘We knew better, but we did it anyway!’Without a doubt, LICKETY SPLIT is side-splittingly hilarious!

Southern Appalachian Repertory Theatre (SART) is set to make regional history with its upcoming production of the classic musical, The Music Man. Running for six performances from July 30 to August 2, this groundbreaking production marks the first time in Western North Carolina that the beloved show will be performed entirely by a cast and crew aged 55 and older.
In a culture that heavily celebrates youth, SART’s unique production shines a spotlight on the maturity, wisdom, and unbridled joy that experienced performers bring to the stage. The 55+ ensemble is determined to prove that artistic passion deepens with time, offering audiences a refreshing, life-tested perspective on an enduring story.
"Music Man&nbsp;proves its timelessness, from its rousing '76 Trombones' to its tender reminder in 'Till There Was You' that just one person can positively affect many," said director JaniceVertucci Schreiber.Set in 1912, the show brings critical lessons for our modern age: how we treat those less fortunate, how we unite for a common purpose, and how we see the best in others despite differences. Schreiber, who conducted extensive research into composer Meredith Willson’s life, has envisioned the musical with a distinct focus on the character of Winthrop. In this production, Winthrop’s experiences with disability and ostracization mirror Willson’s own childhood, serving as the emotional bridge that brings lead characters Harold Hill and Marian Paroo together.
The production boasts an exceptional creative team. Musical director Patty Sands brings a celebrated career in classical music to the production, while choreographer Jillian Adams has the cast dancing with absolute abandon…. despite their collective knee replacements.
Lead actress Anne Moebes (68) sums it up…"I'm thrilled to be channeling Marian, with whom I share so much in common . . . well . . . except her age and dress size."
