Following the success of last year's Main Street/Fayetteville Street, Burning Coal is excited to announce our next collaboration with Raleigh City Museum, Fayetteville Street Follies. The production, with a script by Oakwood writer Ian Finley, and featuring actors from Burning Coal Theatre Company, will visit several sites along Fayetteville Street to bring to life the stories of Raleigh's hooligans, heroes, crooks and cowards.
The promenade performance will begin at Raleigh City Museum (220 Fayetteville St, Raleigh), and travel along Fayetteville Street. Performances are Friday & Saturday, October 16th & 17th at 6:30pm and Sunday, October 18th at 2:00pm. Tickets for the event are $15 for adults, $10 for students, and may be obtained by calling 919.834.4001 or visiting www.burningcoal.org.Burning Coal Theatre Company is Raleigh's small professional theatre. 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.
