Triad Arts with David Ford

Triad Arts Weekend!

May 13, 2011

The University of NC School of the Arts Spring Dance Concert 2011 will feature not one but two world premieres. The first by UNCSA faculty artist Susan McCullough is titled __ Scape, and the second by acclaimed French choreographer Eric Oberdorff is titled Holden C. Elliot Feld’s challenging and otherworldly A Stair Dance and Marius Petipa’s classic Paquita re-staged by School of Dance faculty artist Nina Danilova will round out the program.

Festival Stage of Winston-Salem tops off its first season of professional theatre here in the Triad with a true American classic by a playwright who single-handedly revolutionized American theatre: Tennessee Williams and his powerful memory play The Glass Menagerie. It’ll run from May 13 through the 29th at Hanesbrands Theatre in Winston-Salem. Festival Stage director Kristen Kundert-Gibbs and actors Jens Rasmussen (who plays Tom) and Monica Bell (who plays Amanda) stopped by WFDD to talk about it.

Greensboro Opera conductor and Music Director Valery Ryvkin and baritone Tyler Duncan share tales of Papageno and Queen of the Night with TAUC host David Ford.
