DESCRIPTION:Eric LaRue runs from Monday\, April 21st to Friday\, April 25th at 7pm in the Ruth and Bucky Stein Theater at Thalian Hall\, with an additional screening at 4pm on Wednesday.\nJanice (Judy Greer) is struggling; she moves through life as if in a haze\, unable to let go of her anger and frustration. While her husband (Alexander Skarsgård) has found refuge at a new church\, Janice finds it hard to seek solace in her faith despite her pastor’s pleas to heal her wounds by meeting with the mothers of her son’s victims. As Janice ponders what that meeting could achieve for her and her community\, Eric LaRue asks audiences to witness the frayed emotional ripples that violent acts can engender.

SUMMARY:Blithe Spirit - UNCW Dept of Theatre
DESCRIPTION:BLITHE SPIRIT\nBy Noel Coward\nDirected by Ed Wagenseller\n“I will ever be grateful for the almost psychic gift that enabled me to write Blithe Spirit in five days during one of the darkest years of the war.” – Noel Coward. \nWritten in 1941\, Blithe Spirit remained the longest-running comedy in British Theatre for three decades. Blithe Spirit is a tug-of-love comedy with a difference: one of the lovers is a ghost.\nNovelist Charles\, hoping to gather material for his next book\, asks Madame Arcati (one of the great characters in all of theatre) to conduct a séance in his house. It works too well: his first wife returns from the other side\, with predictably disastrous results for his second marriage. \nApril 3-6 and 10-13\, 2025\nThursdays\, Fridays\, & Saturdays at 7:30 pm\nSundays at 2:00 pm

SUMMARY:John Waters Devil’s Advocate
DESCRIPTION:The Pope of Trash\, The Duke of Dirt\, and now the Devil’s Advocate. John Waters delivers an all-new\, fast-moving\, part-confessional\, part-inquisitional comic spoken word show. Known for his “transgressive” films and his “subversive” books\, Waters salutes the new gender-guerilla generation of today for doing the impossible – actually making him nervous.  \nWith a decades-long career\, John Waters has carved a distinctive niche in American cinema and literature as a filmmaker and author. Known for his provocative and satirical approach\, Waters has written and directed sixteen films\, including cult classics like Pink Flamingos and Hairspray. His work unapologetically tackles themes of race\, sex\, gender\, consumerism\, and religion\, infused with his unique blend of wit and cynicism. An acclaimed author of ten books\, including Shock Value and Liarmouth: A Feel Bad Romance. Waters has also ventured into photography\, sculpture\, and performance art\, continually re-editing and queering popular culture with his signature directorial flair. \nWarning: This is not your mother’s one-man show.

SUMMARY:"Red Tails" screening at Jengo's Playhouse
DESCRIPTION:During World War II\, the Civil Aeronautics Authority selects 13 black cadets to become part of an experimental program at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. The program aims at training colored personnel to become fighter pilots for the Army. However\, discrimination\, lack of institutional support and the racist belief that these men lacked the intelligence and aptitude for the job dog their every step. Despite this\, the Tuskegee Airmen\, as they become known\, more than prove their worth. \nThis screening is sponsored by the NC Black Leadership Caucus.
