Please note Attic Salt's current Covid policy, in effect until further notice:
For the continued safety of our patrons in the face of Covid-19 and it's variants, Attic Salt Theater Company has made the difficult decision to only allow those who have proof of vaccination or a very recent negative Covid test into shows it is producing at its studio space.

If you have already bought tickets and can not or will not present proof of vaccination at the door on the night of the performance, please let us know and we will happily refund the cost of your tickets.
Despite updated Buncombe County mandates, masks are still required for audience inside the studio for the duration of events.
Thank you for your continued patronage and PLEASE stay safe.

Plan Your Whole 2022 with Attic Salt!
Attic Salt has a great year planned, and we hope you'll join us for all of it! Check out some of the shows and events we have in 2022:
Lip Sync Battle, Part II
Coming in June 2022
Three years ago we had a killer fundraiser by allowing some of our best local performers and celebrities to lip-sync to their favorite and most unlikely songs. It was such a smash success that we're bringing it back! Don't miss this wild night of music and mayhem!

Accidental Death of an Anarchist, by Dario Fo
Coming in July/August 2022
In its first two years of production in Italy, Dario Fo's notorious Accidental Death of an Anarchist was seen by over half a million people. It has since been performed all over the world, and become a classic of twentieth-century drama. A sharp and hilarious satire on police corruption, it concerns the case of an anarchist railway worker who, in 1969, 'fell' to his death from a police headquarters window.

Cry it Out, by Molly Smith Metzler
Coming in September 2022
Acclaimed writer Molly Smith Metzler (Shameless, Orange is the New Black, etc.) holds both a microscope and a megaphone to the joys and perils that today’s mothers face. This hilarious and heart-warming comedy takes a sharp and honest look at the power of female friendship, the dilemma of going back to work after being home with a newborn, and the effect that economic and social class has on parenthood in America.
LIVE readings of 2020 and 2021 Playwright's Contest Winners
Coming in November 2022
We've been asking playwrights all over the country to submit their best new works to our contest, and we picked the best of the best. Due to Covid, we haven't been able to perform the readings live, as we had planned. But we still have those scripts and we are FINALLY going to allow you to see these wonderful works!.
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, by Rodney Smith
Coming December 2022
Acclaimed local playwright and director Rodney Smith has offered to take the usually holiday fare and turn it on its head by adapting this campy and (unintentionally) funny film from the 1960s for our stage. I'd explain the plot, but there's not much to it outside the title! Whether you're a fan of the movie or just looking for an alternative to Christmas schmaltz, you're going to laugh and cheer at the bumbling Kinmar, Voldar, Dropo and the sexy Mrs., Candi Clause. And isn't that what the holidays are all about.
