A conservative southern senator clashes with a provocative performance artist from his home state during a heated reelection campaign. Caught in the middle is the Senator’s beloved pure-bred Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Lee Blessing’s play is surprising, fearlessly funny, and a thoughtful defense of the value of art and the importance of human kindness. Directed by Angie Flynn-McIver. Starring Charles McIver. $15-$23 depending on day of week. Wed-Sat, 7:30pm; Sun, 2:00pm. 828-350-9090 or www.ncstage.org for tickets/details.
