Touring Theatre's production of Family Business premiered last night at the Broach Theatre in downtown Greensboro. In addition to the post-show dialogues, the Premiere also played host to Jill McCorkle and Randall Kenan, both North Carolina writers, whose short stories were used and adapted by Producing Artistic Director, Brenda P. Schleunes, for Family Business.
Following the performance and dialogue, a fundraising reception was held at the Blue Diamond Gallery on the 600 block of South Elm Street. McCorkle and Kenan were in attendance along with the cast of Family Business and other supporters of Touring Theatre for a delightful evening hosted by Danielle Hatfield, curator and owner of the Gallery.
The Touring Theatre thanks its supporters and hopes to continue its mission of bringing literary and historical documents to life for the purpose of encouraging reading and providing focus to issues of race, culture and gender.
Please help support the Touring Theatre by choosing to join us for the remainder of the run of Family Business through Sunday, June 29th. Visit www.carolinatheatre.com for ticket information and reservation options or pay at the door of the Broach Theatre. The house opens at 7:30pm Friday and Saturday and 2:30pm Sunday.

Just to clarify, the owner of The Blue Diamond Gallery is Mrs. Martha Forrest.
We were thrilled to host such a talented group of preformers and welcome in the patrons who support them.

Thanks for that Danielle. It was a wonderful evening, and all of us with Touring Theatre enjoyed your hospitality, even if you don't own the space. :o)
