SPECIAL EVENT—Faith in Our Lives: Why We FollowMarch 10 @ 4:00pm
Join us at a FREE panel discussion in the Kenan Theatre between two national luminaries in the world of religious scholars:
• Dr. Robert Franklin, former President of Morehouse College and Director of the Religion Program at The Chautauqua Institution, alongside
• Dr. Bart Ehrman, national best-selling author and Religious Studies professor at UNC-Chapel Hill.
• Adam Versényi, moderator, is the Chair of UNC’s Department of Dramatic Art and Dramaturg for PlayMakers Repertory Company. He is also a theatre scholar, dramaturg, critic, translator, director, and author.
Dr. Franklin and Dr. Ehrman will engage with audiences and explore how faith and belief serve us both personally and collectively, as well as what may be risk when doctrine plays too little or too large a role in our lives.

Repping the Rep at PlayMakers
The rotating repertory—two shows running in rotation over a the same six-week period—is a PlayMakers tradition seasons in the making. It takes creative thinking, careful planning, and enormous amounts of time to pull it off.
What Does “Repertory” Mean, Anyway?
It’s happened to all of us. Upon hearing where we work, new acquaintances often ask, “PlayMakers Repertory Company, huh? What does that mean?” Well, really, it’s all in the name.

Alissa Wilkinson, Christianity Today
The New York theatre scene is not noted for its religious acumen or open-mindedness. But that’s what makes Hnath’s play all the more remarkable.

Charles Isherwood, New York Times
