Commissioned by the Henderson County Education Foundation and Flat Rock Playhouse, the state theatre of North Carolina, Greetings from North Carolina! is the story of a group of aliens traveling to NC for a historical road trip. While there, they learn about North Carolina’s Indigenous People, the Lost Colony, pirates, the journey to statehood, slavery and the Civil War, the Wrights Brothers, Civil Rights, and all of the great and unique people that make up the Tarheel State.

Greetings from North Carolina! premiered in the fall of 2022, touring North Carolina elementary schools. The show will continue to tour every fall.
