Asheville Children’s Theatre -
The Asheville Children’s Theatre experience at the Asheville Arts Center is designed for two types of students:
1. Those who have never been onstage before, and who are looking to “try out” acting, dancing, and singing onstage!
2. Those who are experienced stage performers, who want to have to chance to be a part of an ALL YOUTH/CHILD cast, and audition for roles that would not normally be accessible to them.
We produce five Asheville Children’s Theatre productions per year. In the Fall, we produce one 4-7 year old show, and one 8 – 18 year old show. In the winter, November-February, we produce one 4-7 year old show, and one 8-18 year old show. In the Spring, March-June, we produce an “All Ages” show, for cast members from 4-18 years old!
The “rehearsals” are actually CLASSES held twice weekly: 1 hour twice a week for the 4-7 year olds, and 1.5 hours twice a week for the 8-18 year olds.

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, having set the standards and established the rules of musical theatre still being followed today. Set in a Western Indian territory just after the turn of the century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story. Although the road to true love never runs smooth, with these two headstrong romantics holding the reins, love’s journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road. That they will succeed in making a new life together we have no doubt, and that this new life will begin in a brand-new state provides the ultimate climax to the triumphant OKLAHOMA!
