Triad Stage presents New Music Trilogy

February 14, 2012

Reynolds Price’s Trilogy New Music comes to the Triad for a once-in-a-lifetime theatrical event at Triad Stage in Greensboro. Opening night for Part 1: August Snow and Night Dance is Friday, February 17 at 7:30 at Triad Stage 232 South Elm Street, and it runs through March 17. Opening Night for New Music Part II: Better Days will be Saturday night February 25 at 7:30.

The novel solidified Price’s emergence as among the best Southern writers of his generation receiving the William Faulkner Award, and he would go on to teach English at Duke University for more than 50 years, and to pen more than 40 novels, plays, and collections of poetry and short stories.

There will be New Music preview performances, and pay-what-you-can performances as well. Triad Stage also presents Technically Talking,-behind the scenes discussions with members of the design team, and PostScript discussions with the cast. New Music is also part of the Greensboro Public Library’s "One City, One Author" program with a month long celebration of over two dozen events honoring North Carolina native Reynolds Price and his work. Triad Stage will play host to some of these free events including a poetry reading on April 10 titled Toasts for Reynolds with Vic Stranberg.

Triad Stage Director Preston Lane and actor Leah Turley chats with TAUC host David Ford by phone in between rehearsals from Greensboro.
