Something extraordinary is coming to Asheville this winter! The North Carolina Arboretum and Explore Asheville are elated to announce the arrival of Trolls: A Field Study. Visiting on their first North American excursion, these twelve interactive troll sculptures will explore the Arboretum, embarking on a curious journey to learn about humankind.
Produced by Imagine in collaboration with Danish artist Thomas Dambo, these friendly and fanciful sculptures evoke a sense of wonder and intrigue as they study our small, intricate and inventive ways of life in Western North Carolina. Standing seven to nine feet tall and lovingly described by the artist as “Baby Trolls”, the creatures are crafted from materials like fallen branches, wooden pallets and twigs.
Through their observations, the trolls reveal a fresh perspective on what makes us human, sparking curiosity and laughter in visitors of all ages.
Only cost is the parking fee. No other admission fees.

It’s nearing midnight in Wyoming, where four young conservatives have gathered at a backyard after-party two days before the 2017 eclipse and a week after the Charlottesville riot. They’ve returned home to toast their mentor Gina, newly inducted as president of a tiny Catholic college. As their reunion spirals into spiritual chaos and clashing generational politics, it becomes less a celebration and more a vicious fight to be understood. Will Arbery’s haunting play offers grace and disarming clarity, speaking to the heart of a country at war with itself.
WHY SEE THIS SHOW:
A Pulitzer Prize finalist, this play is an open and honest dialogue about the restlessness of the heart, how generations define their politics and beliefs, and how in order to understand others we can’t immediately judge them. It’s another unicorn play, a play that has things to say to both sides of the political spectrum.
This is the kind of play that The Warehouse NEEDS to do. It takes a group of people not normally seen in a sympathetic light in theater and treats them with dignity and respect. A masterclass in contemporary storytelling, this is a play that will not be forgotten long after seeing it.

Ali is a 17-year-old girl full of fire—searching for freedom, passion, and her place in the world. How she finds them is a New York City coming-of-age story you’ve never felt before—HELL’S KITCHEN, a new musical from 17-time Grammy® Award winner Alicia Keys.
Rebellious and stifled by an overprotective single mother, Ali is lost until she meets her mentor: a neighbor who opens her heart and mind to the power of the piano. Set to the rhythm of the 90s, HELL’S KITCHEN is a love story between a mother and daughter. It’s about finding yourself, your purpose, and the community that lifts you.
Hell’s Kitchen is recommended for ages 8+ due to strong language and moments with mature themes.
