Unframed Voices: Art. Theater. No Boundaries at North Carolina Museum of Art

TWO NIGHTS ONLY. Oct 9 and Oct 11 at 7pm

Join us after hours at the North Carolina Museum of Art for an immersive evening where frames dissolve and the galleries become a living theatrical canvas.

Audiences move from space to space as four North Carolina theater companies premiere four original ten-minute plays written by four NC–based playwrights inspired by four works of art in the museum.

Blending visual art and performance, Unframed Voices invites audiences to experience the Museum in motion—where painting, sculpture, and installation become catalysts for storytelling, imagination, and original plays brought to life via live performance. Theater without walls, stories without limits, art without boundaries.

Featured playwrights include Aurelia Belfield, Ian Finley, Tamara Kissane, and Brook North.

Theater companies include RedBird Theater, Honest Pint Theatre, The Justice Theater Project, and North Carolina Central University.

The artworks inspiring the playwrights are Out of the Box by Patrick Dougherty, Water Jar by Joanna Underwood Blackburn, Sunflower II by Joan Mitchell, and Isla (Tierra Prometida) by Yoan Capote.

Please arrive no later than 6:45 pm to have time to travel to the first performance, which begins at 7:10 pm.

After show discussion will take place after the conclusion of the 4th 10-minute play, in the museum restaurant. Concessions will be sold at that time.
