About Theater/Arts Management Education Series Podcast
The mission of the Asheville Theater Alliance is to unite, promote, strengthen, cultivate, and celebrate the performing arts in Western North Carolina. We advocate for the local theater community by developing innovative, collaborative, and engaging services and programs for member theaters and their diverse audiences. Asheville Theater Alliance promotes the arts to ensure a safe, vibrant, and economically healthy theater community in and around Asheville. As part of our initiatives, each Thursday at noon we will air a new podcast featuring an Alliance member and/or arts organization representative to talk about their careers, openings, events and more.
What an interesting conversation we had with Actor and Improviser Stevie Ramirez. Find out how they got into improv and acting, insight into how one performs improv, tips on succeeding as an improv team, and their upcoming role in the inaugural and immersive production "Close Quarters" at the Phantom Lamp Theatre Company - a production that blends theater and improv. Also, get all the information on Joyride Improv, upcoming workshops, how to sign up, benefits of learning and practicing improv, and details about the May 2026 Asheville Improv Festival, including how to participate.

Wendy Belden, Playwright
We are excited for the 2026 "Behind the Curtains" podcast episodes and have some exciting guests lined up. Starting us off is Playwright Wendy Belden who chatted with us about her transition from being on the stage to writing what we hear from the stage, types of plays she tends to write, her unique process for completing new works, and one specific play that really impacted her. Also get details about her show "Higher Ground" - written after the Helene Hurricane, her newest play entitled "The Blood Census" (which features two bowls of blood), and information on a February 26 reading of the latter play at the Little Animals Gallery. And what U.S. Senator is she intrigued by and who might be featured in a future play?
