Nightwork by Monica Byrne Directed by Jay O'Berski

It's late night in a biomedical research lab and careers are on the line for
five high-strung grad students. World premiere of an outrageously dark
comedy. 
It's a twisted comedy ... that's an unholy cocktail of The Breakfast Club
and Lord of the Flies. More info and tickets:

To Buy the Sun: The Challenge of Pauli Murray

Fifteen years before Rosa Parks refused to stand, Pauli Murray refused to
sit in the back of the bus; 20 years before the Greensboro sit-ins, she
organized restaurant sit-downs in the nation's capital.  Durham native Pauli
Murray not only lived on the edge of history, she seemingly "pulled it along
with her."  One hundred twenty-three years after her enslaved grandmother
was baptized at Chapel of the Cross in Chapel Hill, Pauli Murray returned as
America's first female African-American priest to celebrate her
groundbreaking Eucharist there.  A champion for human rights, Pauli Murray's
struggles and insights resonate powerfully in our times.  Celebrate her
history; create our future.  Join Hidden Voices, the Pauli Murray Project,
and the Duke Human Rights Center as we commemorate the 100th anniversary of
Pauli Murray's birth with a new play that explores the life and legacy of
one of North Carolina's own. http://hiddenvoices.org/pod/project/11
