CHARLOTTE'S WEB is a story about Fern, and her little pig Wilbur who becomes famous with the help of his clever friend Charlotte and their chatty animal neighbors. 5 years since its last production of this beloved family classic, ACA brings its signature style of contemporary and sophisticated storytelling for a fresh, new take on this tale of friendship, sacrifice and growing up.
HUMAN is an all-ages hybrid puppetry production that explores human-ness, its extinction, and how we can stay connected to our own hearts. This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural & Cultural Resources.
Abby Felder wanted to pursue experimental theater after college, so the North Carolina native moved to Asheville seven years ago and co-founded Asheville Creative Arts. It's the only company devoted solely to producing children's theater in Western North Carolina. Working with younger audiences in particular, they are not as hung up on traditional dramatic structures.

I've caught a few of these shows. I love the braveness of this company to tackle social issues in a format for children. I also appreciate the "talk backs" and discussions hosted at the end of performances that delve deeper into the material, allowing audience members to ask questions and comment on the material presented.

Asheville Creative Arts is theater for children that is also a pleasure for adults. The company strives to select work that is thought-provoking and relevant, and they are intentional about every aspect of the performances to enhance the effect for the audience. This coming season looks to be the company's most successful thus far.
