HAPPY THANKSGIVING
“Tell me a story. Please…tell me a story.”
That’s a request we’ve all made since we learned to talk — and listen. And we still love a story — TV, movies, books, theatre – all stories to entertain, enrich, inspire, amuse.
At The Storefront Theatre, we tell stories through the faces and voices of actors but your imagination supplies the rest – set, props, costumes, everything.
We are reader’s theatre.
Thanksgiving! What a wonderful time of year! Time to gather with family and friends, cook a ridiculous amount of food – and eat a ridiculous amount of food, leading to a miraculous nap.
It’s also time to think about those who have no family or friends, who are lonely. Think of those who have no food – or so little food, it’s hardly celebratory. Think about those whose naps occur in an alley or on a grate in the sidewalk.
Half of the word “thanksgiving” is “giving” so if you’d like to give to help those whose Thanksgiving meal will be meager or not at all, you can do it here: (or to the food bank or charity of your choice)

The Acceptance by David Anthony Wright
Robert and Mary, two seventy-something residents of a NC retirement center, meet on the facility’s sun-drenched patio.
He’s a retired foreign correspondent, back in his hometown for the first time in fifty years. She is retired from the restaurant business and has gone blind late in life. Over cups of spiked lemonade, they realize they were high school sweethearts,
on their way to matrimony. The arc of their lives and the results
of their decisions provide the storyline of this drama: a story
of love, loss, longing, and life.

We Like Short-Shorts:
A Festival of 10-Minute Plays
It’s back! Our 13th annual 10-minute play festival with new plays, new playwrights, and the fun of competition. This season, all the playwrights come from the southeast. We’ll see if that makes a difference. It’s a fast-paced event with comedies and dramas, romances and mysteries. You’ll be laughing and crying – maybe at the same time. Once again, we say: Love it or hate it – it won’t last long

Theatre People, or The Angel Next Door
by Paul Slade Smith
A glittering, effervescent hit romantic comedy – like the old screwball comedies but more modern. “It’s an elegant, sweet-dry glass of champagne, bubbling over with non-stop laughs, merriment, glamor, and high-spirited hijinks. It’s hard to think of more fun you could have at the theatre right now, or really, more fun anywhere.” —BroadwayWorld.
SHOW DETAILS:
April 18 | 7:30pm
April 19 | 2:30pm
This project was supported by the Union County Community Arts Council and the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources
