The spine-tingling gothic horror story The Woman in Black is coming to the Hickory Community Theatre. Performances will be October 17 through November 1 in the Jeffers Theatre.

The Woman in Black is a chilling and electrifying theatrical event that has kept audiences on the edge of their seats for over 30 years. This play is suitable for ages 13 and up. For tickets or more information visit hickorytheatre.org or call 828-327-3855.

Advice we took, advice we ignored, and the wisdom we wish we’d heard sooner. Mama Said gathers pop, Broadway, and global favorites into a heartfelt, funny, and uplifting concert about the voices that shape us. The Women’s Chorus of Charlotte sings pep talks, tough love, and tender truths—moving from laughter to lump-in-the-throat and back again. Bring the person who gave you your best advice (or the friend who always asks for yours) and celebrate the courage to listen, choose, and love out loud.

Wax your mustache and hold onto your passport for this ingenious murder mystery from the world’s best-selling author of all time. Ten passengers board the luxurious Orient Express but after the train unexpectedly stops in isolated, snow-swept mountains, only nine of them are still alive. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Thankfully, debonair detective Hercule Poirot is on the train and on the case. Trapped in the snow with a killer still on-board, can the world’s most famous detective crack the case before the train reaches its final destination? This thrilling ride is guaranteed to keep you guessing until the end of the line.
