Nancy East is a resident of Waynesville and the author of Chasing the Smokies Moon: A 948-mile hike--fueled by love, loss, laughter, and lunacy.

THE FRANKENSTEIN RUBRICS
By David Hopes
Directed by Doug Savitt
The scientist. The monster. The tale of a creation suffering at the hands of his maker. It’s a story we all know - but what if the creation takes on a life of its own? What if the relationship between them was more complicated than we ever realized, and what if, by the act of making the monster, the scientist was changed as well?
Playing at The Magnetic Theatre October 7 - 22 on Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays at 7:30pm, and Sundays at 4pm. For more information,…

East Asheville Library

The reception is free and refreshments will be provided. All are welcome.
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
Andrea Clark came to Asheville in the 1960s to live on Valley Street with her father James Howard Clark, son of locally renowned brick mason and contractor James Vester Miller.
She began taking photographs of the segregated neighborhood known as East End. The East End had been a vibrant Black community since the 1880s, but by the late 1970s, urban renewal had razed much of it and families were forced to move to other neighborhoods. Andrea Clark's photos capture the intimacy of a close-knit community and put a face to the what was lost when that community was uprooted.
