HEAR THE DIFFERENCE

HOW TO USE: Easy as 1,2,3!

1. Attach headphones.

2. Press the green button to turn on.

3. Press the Black “T” button for the Hearing Loop.

Adjust volume with the (+) and (-) buttons Info on Hearing Loop: • About 1 in 4 Americans —some 8.4 million—have hearing aids, according to a 2018 poll.

• A hearing loop magnetically transfers the microphone or TV sound signal to hearing aids and cochlear implants that have a tiny, inexpensive “telecoil” receiver. This transforms the instruments into in-the-ear loudspeakers that deliver sound customized for one’s own hearing loss.

• 69% hearing models—including in-the-ear models and conventional behind-the-ear models.

• A form of assistive listening, including hearing loops, come with portable receivers and headsets.

• What is a telecoil?

- A tiny coil of wire around a core that will induce an electric current in the coil when its in the presence of a changing magnetic field.

- Normally, a hearing aid "listens" with its microphone, then amplifies what it “hears”.

- A telecoil “hears” a magnetic signal which represents sound.

- On telecoil-equipped hearing aids and CIs, the wearer must “turn on or “switch to” telecoil mode. Some users prefer a mode that only uses the telecoil and not the microphones when they are in telecoil mode, and other users prefer a combination of telecoil and microphones.

Major Benefits: • Can use your own hearing aid that is geared to your particular needs.

• Don’t have to take extra time to go find hearing aid assistance or configure it to work best for you.

A MESSAGE FROM LISA K. BRYANT, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Once upon a time, in a bustling city where the lights shimmered like stars, there was a magnificent theater called “The Enchanted Stage.” Or, as it was known to the locals, Flat Rock Playhouse. It was renowned for its captivating performances, where the complex and beautiful tales of humanity came to life right before the audience’s eyes. In this enchanting theater, the storytellers, actors, and the technological wizards worked hand in hand to create a truly immersive experience. Every show was a masterpiece, blending the power of performance and cutting-edge technology.

One night, a young girl named Lily and her family were fortunate enough to secure tickets to a special performance at The Enchanted Stage. The show, titled “Threads of Time,” promised to take the audience on an extraordinary journey through history, celebrating the triumphs and tragedies of humanity. As Lily stepped into the theater, she was mesmerized by the grandeur of the stage. She took her seat, eagerly waiting for the show to begin. The lights dimmed, and the curtains slowly rose, revealing a scene that transported the audience back in time.

The story began with a brave knight riding across a lush green meadow, ready to battle a fearsome dragon. The audience gasped as the knight lunged forward, slashing his sword through the air, but instead of a dragon, a breathtaking holographic display brought the mythical creature to life. The theater walls transformed into a medieval castle, and the audience found themselves immersed in the sights and sounds of a bygone era. The spellbound spectators marveled as the actors fearlessly enacted scenes of knights, kings, and queens. Words of love, honor, and betrayal echoed through the theater.

As the show progressed, the tales shifted, taking the audience through the Renaissance period, the age of revolutions, and even the wonders of space exploration. Each era seamlessly transitioning into the next, thanks to the awe-inspiring stagecraft and the talents of the designers, craftsmen, and performers. Lily’s eyes sparkled with wonder as the poignant stories shared, both tragic and joyous, touched her heart and left a lasting impression.

As the final act approached, Lily realized that the true magic of “Threads of Time” was not just the technology or the performances. It was the way in which the stories resonated with the audience, reminding them of the shared humanity that we all carry within. With a standing ovation from the captivated crowd, the show came to an end, leaving the audience in awe of the incredible power of live theater. And so, “The Enchanted Stage” at Flat Rock Playhouse continued to weave its spell on all those who entered its doors, using the harmonious blend of performance and technology to showcase the timeless beauty and depth of the human spirit. For in these stories, we learn, we feel, and we discover that the connections between past and present can never be lost.

The 2024 season at Flat Rock Playhouse centers exploring the profound beauty and devastating complexity of our collective humanity, and endeavors to celebrate the role of technology and design in enriching storytelling. I hope that you, like Lilly, will relish the magic and impact of live theatre, crafted with passion and excellence by a team of dedicated Artists and Artisans right here on the great Flat Rock. Welcome to the show!

A MESSAGE FROM MANAGING DIRECTOR, SAM YAEGER GOODRUM

BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Welcome to Flat Rock Playhouse and welcome to our 2024 Mainstage Season!

We are excited to host you. Whether you are here for the first time or hundredth, each show you see here is an opportunity for us to wow you, astound you, and hopefully make you feel and think.

Producing live theatre takes a village. It is not only the talented craftsmen and artists that bring shows to life from the paint on the scenery, to the actors you watch and the music you hear, but our patrons as well. It is through the collective experience of live theatre that we as a community grow and harness that power for impactful change.

Here at Flat Rock Playhouse, we believe in that power. We believe in the power of shared experiences and shared learning. From our education wing at Playhouse Jr. which provides K through Adult education, to the shows you’ll witness here on our Mainstage, our mission is to support lifelong learning and growth. But it takes the whole community to make that growth possible. To our patrons, volunteers, and donors, thank you for being a part of FRP’s 2024 season! So again welcome, we look forward to growing with you this year!

A MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES PRESIDENT MIKE WEITZEL Welcome to the State Theatre of North Carolina. Flat Rock Playhouse was given that designation by the North Carolina Legislature and has continued to live up to the name since 1952. There is a reason why there are not a lot of empty seats around you tonight.

There is a reason why not only patrons, but actors return to the Playhouse year after year. It’s the Lighting and Set Designs that makes you one of the “Four guys under a streetlamp” in Jersey Boys. It’s the Costume Design that brings Cats alive. It’s the Sound Design that ensures you hear everything at the “Kit Kat Club”. It’s the Production Team that takes you inside Shawshank Prison. Box Office, Marketing, Development and Admin round out the Team that is Flat Rock Playhouse. Your support through ticket sales, or a donation means everything to us and keeps the lights on.

THE LEIMAN

Find peace and tranquility in this new garden of remembrance.

Flat Rock Playhouse’s founder, Robroy Farquhar, settled in this beautiful mountain region to celebrate the joys of nature and create a safe haven to practice his craft. In 2021, we continue to embrace the quiet serenity of our beautiful surroundings with The Leiman Garden of Remembrance.

David and Sharon Leiman donated this hallowed ground in memory of the six million Jews and millions of other men, women, and children murdered by Nazi Germany. The garden invites us all to remember, learn, reflect and NEVER FORGET. David and Sharon first came to Flat Rock Playhouse in 2016 for the all-star hit production, Million Dollar Quartet. We are honored and overjoyed to call this dynamic duo part of the Flat Rock Playhouse team of patrons, donors, and volunteers.
