At Birth – World Premiere by Chapel Hill Playwright Mark Cornell at ODYSSEYSTAGE @ Murphey School Auditorium

OdysseyStage presents the world premiere of At Birth, a hilarious and unforgettable new play by Chapel Hill playwright and filmmaker Mark Cornell. Set in a Chatham County trailer park, this Southern comedy collides with high-stakes family drama. BONUS: live stand-up comedy from NC comics 20 minutes before every show!

Directed and produced by OdysseyStage Executive Director Juliana Valente, co-directed by Jose Rondon, Jr., and managed by Katrina Tarson, At Birth is performed by an all–North Carolina cast and creative team, showcasing the fearless talent of our state’s professional theatre artists. It’s a wild ride that’s equal parts outrageous, heartfelt, and unmissable.
