N.C. A&T's Theatre Program and Davidson College Present "Barbecue"

Date:
07/15/2022 - 07/31/2022
Time:
07:30 PM - 07:30 PM
Where:
The Barber Theater on Davidson College Campus
Details:
A brand new, professional theatre is coming to the Charlotte area! The Davidson College Theatre Department is sponsoring the creation of a professional summer theatre on the Davidson campus – Common Thread Theatre Collective.
 
Perhaps the most unique and exciting aspect of the new company is the artistic partnership with members of the North Carolina A&T University faculty, Greg Horton and Donna Baldwin-Bradby.
The second show of the inaugural season is Barbecue and will run July 15 -31. The play centers around the O’Mallerys, a dysfunctional group of siblings who come together for a park barbeque in order to stage and emergency intervention for their sister Barbara, whose drug habit has gotten out of hand.

However, there are in fact two O’Mallery families, one white and one Black. Each appear in different, yet similar scenes that juxtapose to create a dialogue about racial and family politics.
