SUMMARY:Black Joy in the Springtime
DESCRIPTION:Music played a central role in American family life during the 19th and early 20th centuries\, long before the advent of television and cellphones.\nAfrican American households embraced music as a powerful means of self-expression. Through gospel\, jazz\, blues\, and classical music\, African Americans found a way to share their stories\, joys\, and sorrows. ‘Black Joy in the Springtime’ beautifully highlights this rich musical heritage at one of Raleigh’s historic African American homes. Enjoy a delightful musical performance by Shenette Swann.

SUMMARY:Burning Coal Theatre Presents: My Fair Lady
DESCRIPTION:My Fair Lady is a timeless musical that delves into the transformative power of language\, identity\, and social class in early 20th-century London. At the heart of the story is Eliza Doolittle\, a spirited flower seller with a thick Cockney accent\, who encounters the esteemed phonetics professor Henry Higgins. Fascinated by her unrefined speech and bold personality\, Higgins makes a bold wager: he will teach Eliza to speak and behave like a proper lady of high society. \nAs Eliza embarks on this challenging journey\, the musical traces their evolving relationship through lessons in speech\, manners\, and self-discovery. Though they come from vastly different worlds\, Higgins and Eliza form an unexpected bond that both challenges and changes them in profound ways.\n—\nBurning Coal Theatre Company is proud to announce its production of My Fair Lady\, directed by Jerome Davis. My Fair Lady will run from April 9th to 26th\, 2026\, at the Murphey School\, located at 224 Polk Street\, Raleigh\, NC 27604. Performances run on Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. All tickets are $30\, or $25 for seniors (65+)\, or $20 for students\, teachers\, and active military.

SUMMARY:Lempicka
DESCRIPTION:In a world on the edge of chaos\, one woman paints her destiny. Lempicka is a sweeping\, sensual musical set in 1920s Paris\, where revolution\, art\, and desire collide. Fleeing the Russian Revolution\, Tamara de Lempicka claws her way from refugee to rising star of the Art Deco scene—bold\, brilliant\, and unstoppable. But when she falls into a dangerous\, all-consuming love with her magnetic muse Rafaela\, Tamara must choose between passion and power\, survival and self-expression. As fascism rises and the walls close in\, how much is she willing to risk for the life—and love—she craves?
