Returning this season is Nutcracker Twist, a contemporary take on the classic music we all love. And what would the show be without a flurry of penguins in Arctic Adventure? Also returning are Merry & Bright, Like This, Sing, and more!
Cascade will make its stage debut both as an anthem and a benediction—a celebration of cultural memory, the resilience of tradition, and the unifying power of dance to reveal grace, connection, and renewal—set by show director Cheryl Cutlip. Also new this year is Drummer Girl — a thunderous tribute to the iconic precision-march routines made famous by the Radio City Rockettes.

Toy Sheep Microcinema: Game Night
2025-12-05 20:30 - 22:30 | Appalachian Theatre, 559 W. King Street, Boone, 28067, United States
The last Toy Sheep Microcinema event of 2025 presents Game Night.
Toy Sheep’s first screening, in September 2023, was DUSTY STACKS OF MOM: THE POSTER PROJECT (2013), Jodie Mack’s animated musical about the closing of her mother’s mail-order poster business. Since then, Toy Sheep attendees have begged for more Mack, and here’s a wild one: RAD PLAID, which presents images of fabrics that encourage us to scream at the screen! As Blake Williams describes the rules for watching RAD PLAID: “People in the room are invited to team up, so that half the room shouts ‘Plaid!’ when vertical lines appeared on the screen, while the other half shouts ‘Rad!’ at the sight of horizontal lines, establishing a sense of division and an air of competition.” And once everyone starts playing and yelling, Mack starts introducing variations, so come with your eyes wide open and your voice ready to roar.
Since 1970, Hollis Franpton’s ZORNS LEMMA has been considered a classic of avant-garde cinema, praised for its elegant structure—its fugue-like replacement of the Roman alphabet with a collection of images—and the unique spell it casts over spectators. People like ZORNS LEMMA just the way it is. But one night last February, Toy Sheep programmer Craig Fischer fell asleep during a raging fever, woke up at 3:17am, and quietly whispered, “I dreamed of a game we can play as we watch ZORNS LEMMA,” and he’s worked on the game ever since. It’s like Bingo, but sometimes with pictures, and it goes really, really fast, as guinea pigs will find out at the screening. Prizes will be won, minds will be melted, history will be made, and fun will be had. “The Cat doth play / And after, Slay…”
Join us for what may be our most unique Toy Sheep show yet!
