Click ticket link for exact locations and times
Get ready for a wild ride of laughter, chaos, and mistaken identities! The play throws you into the world of Jack and Algernon, two smooth-talking bachelors with a talent for deception. They’ll do anything to win love and avoid responsibility—no matter how ridiculous it gets.
Eight actors arrive at each venue for the first time on the day of the performance. Then with nothing but their costumes, props, and wits, they bring the play to life based on the location where they are performing that day.

The Barn
1763 Old Lexington Road
Asheboro, NC 27205
Step into a world of wonder where four actors transform a humble barn into a whimsical world where time bends, and the March sisters' journey comes to life. Jo's quest for self-discovery sparks a magical exploration of sisterhood, as the girls transform everyday objects into the fantastical scenes of their childhood dreams—witches, heroes, and their beloved imaginary newspaper. But it is through the heartbreaking loss of Beth that Jo truly finds her voice, stepping boldly into adulthood with the powerful realization that while families may change, the love we share always remains close at heart.
