Lauren Kennedy Directs Husband Alan Campbell in Theatre Raleigh's RACE

Tony Award Nominee Alan Campbell plays Jack Lawson in Hot Summer Nights at Theatre Raleigh's production of RACE, directed by his wife, Broadway actress Lauren Kennedy.
This is the first time Kennedy has directed her husband in a production.
