is the newest addition to Asheville Community Theatre. Designed
by Fisher Architects PA and funded by a grant from the Janirve
Foundation, it consists of a black box theatre (meaning it has
flexible staging and seating options) with a capacity for 49,
a lobby and bar, dressing rooms, and restroom facilities. The
facility is outfitted with state of the art equipment donated
by Scott Shannon. The Constance M. Cramer Teaching Theatre is
named in honor of Mr. Shannon’s late wife, a devoted supporter
of community theatre.
Asheville
Community Theatre will mount several full productions each season
in the new intimate performance space, with the intention of building
and nurturing a more adventurous audience. Our inaugural production
is David Sedaris’ “The Santaland Diaries,” opening
November 29, 2002. 35below will offer more affordable ticket prices
and later show times, often running multiple performances on the
same evening.
35below
is committed to supporting works by local playwrights through
full productions, staged readings, or developmental workshops.
Tanglewood Youth Theatre classes will be taught in the complex,
as well as an array of other ACT-sponsored educational workshops.
35below
is available for rental by performance groups, classes, and other
community organizations. |
