Hands Up: In Performance and Discussion

It's been an honor bring HANDS UP: 6 Playwrights, 6 Testaments to the Triangle community. Congratulations to everyone involved and especially to Kathryn Hunter-Williams, Monet Noelle Marshall, Jules Odendahl-James, Ana Radulescu, Jeri Lynn Schulke and Devra Thomas for coming together in the spirit of collaboration and the desire not only to create, but also build community in response to human tragedy. Our cast, what can I say, these young men leaving it all on the stage. We've had packed houses and powerful post show discussions. It's been an enlightening and transformative experience. If you're in the area, there's one more performance tonight at 8:00pm. For those unable to attend, please enjoy these photos by Kenneth Campbell that capture moments before, during, and after from our opening night performance.
