Preview: Triad Stage Challenges How Far We’ve Come with “A Raisin in the Sun”

Chelsea Korynta Staff Writer Greensboro’s Triad Stage is kicking off the new year with the American Classic, “A Raisin in the Sun.” Though the play debuted 60 years ago, themes of racial tension and issues of identity make this show a particularly insightful choice for the local non-profit theater. Reflecting on pre-civil rights tensions, the play highlights how institutions of racism and prejudice have stood … Continue reading Preview: Triad Stage Challenges How Far We’ve Come with “A Raisin in the Sun”

Matthew Paterson Staff Writer In a world filled with reboots, sequels, prequels, spin-offs and re-interpretations it seems no film is safe. It seems as though our childhood films that we hold so closely to our hearts can’t just be left alone and stand for themselves.

Review: CTG’s Quirky Crime Thriller “Women in White” Takes the Stage

Jessica Clifford Arts & Entertainment Editor Crime thrillers typically fall under the category of serious dramas, with some blood-soaked victim found dead and a mysterious killer on the loose. However, Community Theatre of Greensboro’s newest production, “Women in White,” twists this finely crafted definition by adding morsels of slap-stick humor. The all-women play takes place in the common room for residency nurses at Cranford General … Continue reading Review: CTG’s Quirky Crime Thriller “Women in White” Takes the Stage
