Burning Coal Theatre presents The Road To Mecca
Location: Burning Coal Theatre, 224 Polk St., Raleigh NC 27604
Based on the true story of a South African woman, Miss Helen, who began to create sculptures late in her life, determined that her voice would finally be heard. Athol Fugard’s masterpiece was hailed on its original production at Burning Coal as one of the Triangle’s best productions of the decade. Artistic Director Jerome Davis again returns to the Karoo Desert and to the play he calls “one of my five all-time favorites.”
In consideration of current public health protocols, this year’s Messiah will be abbreviated to approximately 90 minutes, including the Christmas portion plus selected movements from Parts II and III. These concerts are sold out. The concert will not be live-streamed, but a recording of the performance will be available online beginning Sunday, December 12.
The Nutcracker is the perfect ballet for the young and young at heart. With illusions created by magician Rick Thomas, made possible by WRAL-TV, ours is one of the only Nutcracker productions with magic performed live on stage.
