We regret to announce that the upcoming performances of Mike Wiley’s Changing Same, co-presented with the YMI Cultural Center, have been canceled.
Mike Wiley is facing serious health challenges and is stepping away from upcoming performances so he can focus on getting better. Everyone at NC Stage and the YMI is behind him. Mike is a remarkable artist and a cherished friend of this theatre, and we know many of you were looking forward to seeing him as much as we were.
Mike has asked us to pass along a message: Please don’t put off your health screenings. If something doesn’t seem right, get it checked. To learn more about head and neck cancer, visit the Head & Neck Cancer Alliance at headandneck.org.
We are working with Mike and the YMI to see if and when we might be able to reschedule these performances, and we’ll share an announcement as soon as we know more.
If you have tickets, you have several options:
- Hold your tickets for the rescheduled performance, if one is announced.
- Exchange them for a credit toward another NC Stage production this season.
- Request a full refund.
To let us know your choice, please contact our box office at (828) 239-0263 or [email protected] by November 13. If we don’t hear from you, we’ll hold your tickets automatically.
Care package for Mike: We have had several people ask about sending Mike cards, gifts, and special messages. We are putting together a care package with these items to send to Mike in a couple of weeks. If you would like to include your own card or gift for Mike, please drop that off at the theatre or send it to us by Wednesday, Nov. 18. Send to: NC Stage Company, c/o Mike Wiley, 15 Stage Lane, Asheville, NC 28801.
Please join us in sending Mike strength, healing, and love.
