Burning Coal Theatre Company will present WAIT TIL YOU SEE THIS! 2026, featuring three plays in repertory by emerging artists, including works by Roné Sargent, Lucius Robinson, and Liza Birkenmeier, at its Raleigh, NC venue.
We are staging Howie in the round because it offers special possibilities: people can see each other’s faces, which gives actors the chance to play to different sections of the audience for others to witness. The play is oration, and the Cockpit is two amphitheatres joined together. But it is also conflict and the Cockpit’s alter ego is an arena.
The Cockpit will present the acclaimed Irish play HOWIE THE ROOKIE, starting April 24. This intense two-hander delves into themes of masculinity, power, and identity through a darkly comic narrative. The production promises a compelling exploration of interpersonal dynamics set against a gritty backdrop.
