Burning Coal teams up with the Raleigh City Museum for a third year to tell the stories of Raleigh's history in a new, Halloween-themed script, The Ghosts of Fayetteville Street.  The production, with a script by Oakwood author Ian Finley, and featuring actors from Burning Coal Theatre Company, will visit several sites along Fayetteville Street and around the State Capitol.  Along the way, audiences will encounter close-up some of the most haunting (and hysterical) citizens of Raleigh's past.
 
The promenade performance will begin at Raleigh City Museum (220 Fayetteville St, Raleigh), and travel along Fayetteville Street.  Performances are Friday & Saturday, October 29th & 30th   at 6:30pm and Sunday, October 31st at 2:00pm.  Tickets for the event are $15 for adults, $10 for students, and may be obtained by calling 919.834.4001 or visiting www.burningcoal.org.
 
Burning Coal Theatre Company is one of Raleigh's professional theatre companies.  Burning Coal is an incorporated, non-profit [501 (c) (3)] organization. Burning Coal's mission is to produce literate, visceral, affecting theatre that is experienced, not simply seen. Burning Coal produces explosive reexaminations of overlooked classic and modern plays, as well as new plays, whose themes and issues are of immediate concern to our audience, using the best local, national and International Artists available. We work toward a theatre of high-energy performances and minimalist production values. The emphasis is on literate works that are felt and experienced viscerally, unlike more traditional linear plays, at which audiences are most often asked to observe without participating. Race and gender non-specific casting is an integral component of our perspective, as well as an international viewpoint.
