Burning Coal Raises The Ghosts of Fayetteville Street 10/29-31

Burning Coal teams up with the Raleigh City Museum for a third year to tell the stories of Raleigh's history in an 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.

He's Back!
Ten years ago, Burning Coal presented the southeastern premiere of Conor McPherson's haunting 90 minute one-man show, St. Nicholas. Twenty inches of snow fell on Raleigh and almost all the performances were cancelled. Ten years on, director Randolph Curtis Rand (To Kill A Mockingbird) and actor Jerome Davis (Burning Coal's artistic director) once again pair up to resuscitate this chilling story. If you liked Burning Coal's productions of The Weir (1999) and The Seafarer (2010), then you will surely want to get tickets now for this funny and haunting story of a man at the very end of his rope, who somehow manages to find his way back.

St. Nicholas will run November 4 - 21, 2010 at the Murphey School. Performances are Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 pm and Sundays at 2 pm. The first Friday, November 5, includes a gala (food, drink, cake and coffee) before and after the show. The first Sunday of the run, November 7 at 2 pm is our 'Pay What You Can' day and is audio described for the sight impaired. Tickets are $20 or $15 for students, seniors (65+) and active military and may be obtained by calling 919.834.4001 or visiting www.burningcoal.org.
