Come home.
Thirty years after the events in Night Dance, friends and visitors gather to comfort Neal and Taw after the death of Neal’s mother, Roma. Their son, on leave from Vietnam, seeks a destiny beyond his family’s roots. When Roma’s will reveals a startling surprise, conflicting desires threaten to leave everyone in a state of uncertainty, and they must find enormous courage to meet the future in a swiftly changing world.
How does one describe a Southern masterpiece? Amazing, stunning, profound…; even the strongest superlatives seem insufficient when speaking of Triad Stage's latest production, Reynolds Price's New Music. You haven't seen anything remotely like New Music anywhere this season, and you won't unless you get yourself to Greensboro's Triad Stage.New Music breaks ground, celebrates a master of Southern literature and, perhaps even more important in the long run, redefines modern regional theatre.
Triad Stage is revisiting an old friend, and the Greensboro Public Library is getting in on the act, too. The downtown-Greensboro theater's latest production is Reynolds Price?s "New Music" trilogy - "August Snow," "Night Dance" and "Better Days" - performed in two parts in rotating repertory, a first for Triad Stage.
Greensboro's Triad Stage will present North Carolina native Reynolds Price's entire New Music trilogy - for the second time since they were written - in two parts from Feb. 12-March 18 at the Pyrle Theater.
