During the month of November, we will combine all donations made to The Storefront Theatre with a Storefront Theatre donation to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund to benefit our friends and neighbors in Western North Carolina who are suffering tremendous hardship and loss resulting from the horrendous effects of hurricane Helene.
Please help us help others by joining us in this important humanitarian effort. Thank you.
Help us help others!
“Tell me a story. Please…tell me a story.”
That’s a request we’ve all made since we learned to talk — and listen. And we still love a story — TV, movies, books, theatre – all stories to entertain, enrich, inspire, amuse.
At The Storefront Theatre, we tell stories through the faces and voices of actors but your imagination supplies the rest – set, props, costumes, everything.
We are reader’s theatre.
Help Us Help Others
There are many theatres in Western NC that are close to my heart — first and foremost Flat Rock Playhouse which has been damaged by Helene. I know I can’t ask others to contribute to an individual entity of my choosing, but I can ask others to contribute to general relief for the Western NC area in hopes that some might trickle down to arts organizations which, while not “Samaritan” in the same way as hospitals and the like, do play a huge part in the area’s economy and have many employees who are, no doubt, suffering.
If you’d like to join us and add to our Storefront Theatre donation to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund, just click the “Donate” button at the top right of this page and make a donation to The Storefront Theatre. During the month of November we will add all donations to our own donation to the Relief Fund, including the merchant fees we are charged for credit/debit card processing to this effort — every penny you contribute will be going to help our friends and colleagues recover from this horrible disaster. If you can, please help us to help others. Thank you.

Ghost-Writer by Michael Hollinger
Novelist Franklin Woolsey dies mid-sentence, but his secretary Myra continues to take dictation. Attacked by skeptics, the press and Woolsey’s jealous widow, Myra sets out to prove she is more than just an artful forger. Is she trying to steal Woolsey’s legacy now that she cannot have his love, or might she truly possess a gift the world can’t understand?

The Best of Short-Shorts:
A Festival of 10-Minute Plays
Our 10-minute play festival is very popular. Many people have told us it’s their favorite show of the season every year. So, this year, we wondered if people love this show so much – where we present the best 9 or 10 plays out of hundreds submitted – how would they feel about seeing the best of all those winners throughout our ten years? We think you’ll love it and as you know: Love it or hate it — it won’t last long.
SHOW DETAILS:
March 1 | 7:30pm
March 2 | 2:30pm
Sweepstakes by Judy Simpson Cook
Eight people, friends all their lives, share their hopes and dreams with each other. They have big ideas of things they’d like to do if they had the money; a lot of money. One of them is a sweepstakes fanatic, entering every one that comes along with the promise that when he wins — and he knows he will someday — he’s going to split that money with them. And he’s right. He wins. And now they have to decide if they really want what they thought they did? It’s time to put the money where they’ve always said their heart is. A sweet poignant comedy that might make us look at our own dreams and what we did — or didn’t do — about them. And why.
SHOW DETAILS:
April 12 | 7:30pm
April 13 | 2:30pm
This project was supported by the Union County Community Arts Council and the North Carolina
Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources
