On Q Productions Presents DAY OF ABSENCE & KMBA at Duke Energy Theater, 3/2 - 3/5

CIAA is pleased to present two shows for the price of one.

DAY OF ABSENSE

On Q Productions brings the critically acclaim Day of Absence by Douglas Turner Ward, for CIAA week. This play starts off in a sleepy southern town during the Jim Crow era. Its white citizens are ready for another day for business as usual, till they realize that all of their black citizens have disappeared without a trace. The town eventually falls into panic and the outcome is that the town will never be the same again. Quentin "Q" Talley, who was also nominated for best direction of a comedy, directs this production.
