Dr. Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist, is confronted with Alan Strang, a boy who has blinded six horses in a violent fit of passion. This very passion is as foreign to Dysart as the act itself. To the boy’s parents, it is a hideous mystery; Alan has always adored horses. To Dysart, it is a psychological puzzle that leads both doctor and patient to a complex and disturbingly dramatic confrontation. This international success reached new acclaim in London and on Broadway when revived in 2008.
Director: Sean Brosnahan

Inherit the Wind
2023-04-13 19:30 - 21:30 | Theatre in the Park, 107 Pullen Rd, Raleigh, NC, 27607, United States
This is the play that has its genesis in the events of the famous Scopes trial. One of the most outstanding dramas of our time. “The portrait it draws of an explosive episode in American culture, vigorously written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, remains as fresh as it ever was. One of the most stirring plays in recent years retains its folk flavor and spiritual awareness…Bursting with vitality…Literature of the stage!” -NY Times.

Quirky Dramedy ▪ Revolutionary
It’s workers vs. landlords in this brutally funny classic play. The old ways are dying, and one family is caught in the middle. The socio-economic divide is on the precipice, and we will laugh and cry when it all comes tumbling down.

Beetlejuice
2023-04-11 19:30 - 21:30 | DPAC, 123 Vivian Street, Durham, NC, 27701, United States
He earned his stripes on Broadway… now the ghost-with-the-most is coming to DPAC.
It’s showtime! Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film, this hilarious musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes.
With an irreverent book, an astonishing set, and a score that’s out of this Netherworld, BEETLEJUICE is “SCREAMINGLY GOOD FUN!” (Variety). And under its uproarious surface (six feet under, to be exact), it’s a remarkably touching show about family, love, and making the most of every Day-O!
