Welcome back for another exhilarating season in our historic theatres, filled with the sounds, sights and excitement of the live performing arts. We have so much planned so far this season, and we are continuing to add even more stellar events – rock, pop, folk/Americana, Broadway, jazz, comedy, films, variety shows, family programs and more! I hope you will spend some time in our digital playbill and discover all we have going on at the Appell Center for the Performing Arts.

CapLive: Start Making Sense
Old Gods of Appalachia –
Unhallowed Grounds
A Live Podcast Experience
Contains adult themes and content not intended for children.
Old Gods of Appalachia is an award-winning and critically-acclaimed audio drama podcast produced by Asheville, NC based DeepNerd Media. A recipient of 14 Audioverse Awards and winner of Best Overall Podcast in the 2021 DiscoverPod Awards, Old Gods of Appalachia boasts over 9 million unique downloads since its launch in late 2019. The forthcoming role-playing game based on the series met its funding goal of $50k within 10 minutes and raised over two million dollars on Kickstarter.
Overview
Old Gods of Appalachia is an eldritch horror fiction podcast set in an Alternate Appalachia, a world where these mountains were never meant to be inhabited. This world feels eerily similar to the hills and hollers we’ve grown up with, but there are some tell-tale differences.
Names of towns and counties may be altered. Historical events slide forward or backward in time. And then, of course, there are the monsters.
Our live show includes a staged storytelling performance similar to an old time radio play, featuring show creators Steve Shell and Cam Collins, a rotating cast of professional actors, and live musical performances.
