The Diana Wortham Theatre at Pack
Place in downtown Asheville, North Carolina introduces Intersections, a brand new series held in The Forum at Diana
Wortham Theatre. The inaugural 2012-2013 Intersections series is designed to

another and with the arts through supplemental performance-oriented courses for

and children are designed to enrich children’s experience with the arts and
promote academic achievement. The fee for these 11-week courses includes a free

2012-2013 Matinee Series for Students and Families. Current courses
include: “Build A Play” – suitable for
grades 6-8; “Creative Drama” – suitable for ages 3-5; and “Creative Movement” –
suitable for ages 3-5. Registration is open now; call Associate Director Rae
Geoffrey at 828.210.9837 or e-mail rae@dwtheatre.com to register. More

intersect with the arts. The Book Club is an opportunity for book lovers to
gather for casual discussions. The first meeting of the Intersections Book Club
is October 9, 2012 at 6:30pm to discuss The
Giver. The Diner’s Club is an occasion for patrons to get to know one
another before a Mainstage Series performance with a group dinner at a local
restaurant. The On Broadway Club is an opportunity for patrons to travel as a
group on a bus tour to the Peace Center for performances in the Center’s
Broadway productions series. And the Craft Club, presented in partnership with
Handmade in America, meets monthly to create a work of art under the direction
of a local artist. Check Diana Wortham Theatre’s website regularly for updated
information regarding these social opportunities.
