The National Theatre announces new information, and recaps its upcoming season.

North Carolina's indie-Americana darlings Mipso have released the official video for the track “Moonlight,” from their critically acclaimed new album Edges Run. Premiering with No Depression, the video illustrates the familiar and all-too-human emotion of feeling alone, even while surrounded by those you love the most. Songwriter Joseph Terrell explains, “I wrote 'Moonlight' after a breakup while I drove all day back to North Carolina from where I'd been living in Boston. I was sitting in summer traffic on the worst highway in America in a rented minivan full of all my stuff, and I kind of just had to laugh. There's that voice in your head that wants to tell the world, 'I'm totally fine!' when you're anything but.” Check out the video here.

North Carolina's beloved Americana band Mipso have released an official video for 'Servant To It,' a track from their recently released acclaimed album Edges Run. Premiering with Culture Collide, the video shows the behind-the-scenes dynamic and shenanigans of the band on the road. Mipso's Libby Rodenbough (vocals, fiddle, songwriter) describes, 'There's a romantic myth about artists that doesn't square with the banal kind of privilege it usually takes to be one publicly. 'Servant To It' is a wink at that myth. This video is a portrait of our reality as working musicians. Jacob Blumberg, the creator, came out on the road with us on a recent run down through the Deep South, and he put together a ton of material-disposable camera stills, old VHS camcorder footage, etc.-in a way that conveys the fun and silliness and strangeness and madness of touring.'

The National Theatre has announced its May-September 2018 season.
