What to See in the Triangle This Season: Performing Arts
Oh, to be a fly on the wall as North Carolina playwright Paul Green and author Richard Wright discussed (and argued over!) the Broadway adaptation of Wright’s Native Son in 1941.

Let a thousand billboards bloom
Put me down as entirely unsurprised that media companies are adding commercials back into their streaming services as a means of making them profitable.
