RALEIGH LITTLE THEATRE’S PRODUCTION OF THE WHIPPING MAN DEMANDS WITNESS
January 13 – 29, 2017
Phillip Bernard Smith brings ample experience to the table as Simon. His execution of this role is a veritable master class in acting: how to develop a complex, vivid character without cliché or dishonesty. It is a passionate, but tempered performance; and if anyone ever deserved a hefty paycheck for community theater acting, it is Smith. by DUSTIN K. BRITT
BURNING COAL THEATRE COMPANY
Apr 6 – Apr 23, 2017
The Royale, by Marco Ramirez
What kind of pressure does it put on a man when you ask him to be brutal, cunning and selfish one minute and quiet, thoughtful and subservient the next? For the first African American Heavy Weight Champion, that question took a back seat to the even more important one: what kind of pressure does he put on himself. This electrifying new play will knock you for a loop!
“This country’s been waiting for this fight, whether they like it or not!” – from The Royale

JUSTICE THEATRE PROJECT
June, 2017. June 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 23, 24 and 25.
The Gershwins®’ PORGY AND BESS® by George Gershwin, DuBose and Dorothy Heyward and Ira Gershwin. Adapted by Suzan-Lori Parks in 2011.
Known worldwide as a masterpiece and “An American Folk Opera,” PORGY AND BESS ® was George Gershwin’s final work for the musical stage as originally featured an entire cast of classically trained African American singers.
The Justice Theater Project's June of 2017 production is based on the 2011 revival adapted by Pulitzer Prize winner writer Suzan-Lori Parks, the first African American woman to win a Pulitzer for Drama.
Parks hoped to "introduce the work to the next generation of theatergoers", by adding changes to the opera's plot, dialogue and score to give dimensions to black culture as well as humanize the depiction of race on stage.
Based on DuBose and Dorothy Heyward’s play “Porgy,” musical numbers include Summertime, A Woman Is a Sometime Thing, My Man’s Gone Now, I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’, It Ain’t Necessarily So, Buzzard Song and Bess, You Is My Woman Now. This is an extraordinary entertainment experience.
