Burning Coal Returns to Oakwood Cemetery 5/14-15
Burning Coal will return this May to Historic Oakwood Cemetery for the next in their cycle of original historical plays. This year's new script, Oakwood: Generations by Ian Finley will share stories of parents and children through Raleigh's history, including outspoken columnist Nell Battle Lewis, gregarious politico Thaddeus Eure and legendary jurist Samuel Fox Mordecai. Join us on the grounds of beautiful Oakwood Cemetery for stories poignant and humorous about what it means to be a family.
The performances will take place at Historic Oakwood Cemetery (701 Oakwood Ave., Raleigh) on May 14th & 15th at 6:30pm and May 16th at 2:00pm. Tickets for the event are $20 or $10 for students and may be obtained by calling 919.834.4001 or visiting www.burningcoal.org.Burning Coal Theatre Company is one of Raleigh's small, professional theatres. Burning Coal is an incorporated, non-profit [501 (c) (3)] organization. Burning Coal's mission is to produce literate, visceral, affecting theatre that is experienced, not simply seen. Burning Coal produces explosive reexaminations of overlooked classic and modern plays, as well as new plays, whose themes and issues are of immediate concern to our audience, using the best local, national and International Artists available. We work toward a Theatre Of high-energy performances and minimalist production values. The emphasis is on literate works that are felt and experienced viscerally, unlike more traditional linear plays, at which audiences are most often asked to observe without participating. Race and gender non-specific casting is an integral component of our perspective, as well as an international viewpoint.
