Performed at the Pittsboro Roadhouse, two performances. LOVE, LOSS, AND WHAT I WORE is a play written by Nora and Delia Ephron based on the 1995 book of the same name by Ilene Beckerman. It is organized as a series of monologues and scenes and uses a rotating cast of women. The subject matter of the segments includes women’s relationships and wardrobes and, at times, the interaction of the two, using the female wardrobe as a time capsule of a woman’s life. The original 2008-2010 production received positive critical attention, and the show has been produced on six continents and in more than eight countries, and had a U.S. national tour in 2011. Due to content, recommended age is 13+.

Join us for a nourishing, healing, and relaxing gentle yoga flow + restore class integrating locally sourced CBD salve application and optional CBD tea and/or tincture. This class takes us deeper into the subtle body following the map of the Koshas- layers of consciousness- , from physical body to breath, emotional, intuitive, and bliss bodies. We will begin in healing lunar namaskar and Pranams, connect with the breath and mental consciousness with pranayama and mantra, and rise into the subtle realms of ritual space in restorative yoga and meditation- enhanced by the stress reducing, anti-anxiety properties of hemp based CBD. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is derived from the hemp plant and has been employed for hundreds of years for its medicinal properties and was historically used as a sustainable textile and is one of the oldest recorded farmed and domesticated plants in human history. CBD in its therapeutic use can assist in a spectrum of healing benefit including pain management, treatment of PTSD, stress, and sleep loss or insomnia. Industrial hemp does not contain the psychoactive substance THC. This unique and intimate class offers 10 healing spaces and advance registration by Thursday, April 4 is required. $27

This is an open invitation for our local community of women to co-create and in union hold sacred space for one another as we are called into a time of cultural shifts that empower and bravely bare the soft belly of the divine feminine. We'll toast Kam afterwards and wish her well on the next phase of her life journey, a move to the mountains! We are meeting monthly at Yoga Garden PBO. Our time together includes movement, chanting, meditation, yoga nidra, music, readings, and sharing our voices with one another in the spirit of confidential, safe communication and support. The format for future gatherings continues to take shape based on our collective needs and desires. All are welcome to participate in any way that feels right. Our structure will be fluid, nourishing and supportive for all who are feeling the call to align with the power of the goddess within all women. All women are welcome to this safe and healing space. Donations are gratefully accepted and this month's donations will be sent to Second Bloom of Chatham County. For information, please email us at yogagardenpbo@gmail.com.

EMAIL?CFTA.tmatthews1@gmail.com for an audition packet. AUDITIONS taking place MONDAY!!! April 22nd 7 PM!! THE STORY⬇️⬇️⬇️ The Miss Firecracker Contest ? The place is the small Mississippi town of Brookhaven, the time a few days before the Fourth of July. Carnelle Scott (known locally as Miss Hot Tamale) is rehearsing furiously for the Miss Firecracker Contest...hoping that a victory will salvage her tarnished reputation and allow her to leave town in a blaze of glory. The unexpected arrival of her cousin Elain, a former Miss Firecracker winner, who has walked out on her rich but boring husband and her two small children, complicates matters a bit, as does the repeated threat of Elains eccentric brother, Delmount, recently released from a mental institution, to sell the family homestead and decamp for New Orleans. But, aided by a touchingly awkward seamstress named Popeye, who is hopelessly smitten by Delmount, and several other cheerfully nutty characters, Carnelle perseveres ...leading to a denouement of unparalleled hilarity, compassion and moving lyricism as all concerned finally escape their unhappy pasts and turn hopefully toward what must surely be a better future.

Our favorite Spring seasonal is back! Come enjoy a pint or two with us. After all they are only $1 all day! See you there!
