August 24 - September 1 from Blowing Rock's Ensemble Stage - If you haven't gotten
tickets to "Bedside Manners" yet you better hurry because they're going
fast. People have been turned away at the door for all
performances so far because we were sold out, and if the response of the
patrons leaving after the performance is any indication, they'll be
selling out the rest of the shows. Of course it doesn't hurt when you
have a great cast to pull off a fast-paced comedy like this one. The
professional cast includes Margot Moreland who spent over ten years
performing shows at the Kennedy Center and Stephen Moore who most of you
will recognize as the unsuspecting, terrified car salesman in the
recent television commercial starring NASCAR driver, Jeff Gordon.
"Bedside Manners" takes place in a secluded english hotel when a
brother reluctantly agrees to look after it while his sister is away.
However, he did not anticipate all the wild comings-and-goings! He
soon becomes hilariously engulfed in confusion and bewilderment as he
tries to prevent the inevitable meetings of husbands, wives, and lovers
in assorted compromising situations.

Tonight (Monday, 08/26) at 7:30 PM

August 26, 2013 - The Blue Ridge Parkway has reopened a section of road connecting Asheville to Mt. Mitchell. This means the popular Craggy Gardens Visitor Center and Picnic Area have also reopened. The temporary repairs will allow visitors access to the popular section during the end-of-summer and leaf-peeping seasons.
The 21-mile section of the Blue Ridge Parkway from Milepost 376 at Ox Creek Road to Milepost 355 at Mt. Mitchell State Park is now open. The speed limit has been reduced to 15 mph in this area and will be strictly enforced. The section will close again in November 2013 so that permanent repairs can be made.
The 500 foot long by-pass restores two-way traffic through the area affected by significant structural damage as a result of unusually heavy rainfall totals earlier this summer. It is anticipated that the bypass route will close again and the detour routes will be reinstated in November 2013 so construction can resume to stabilize the slope and repair the area permanently.
