About this Event

BRIAR PATCH BY WILL CARTER

Wednesday, July 22nd at 8:15 pm, Thursday, July 23rd at 8:15 pm and Sunday, July 26th at 6:30 pm. The show takes place at the American Theatre of Actors Cullum Theatre, in New York City.

In Briar Patch, the town pastor in Eatontown Georgia seeks to reconnect with his son by putting on a play about Joel Chandler Harris, the town's most famous citizen (author of the Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit stories). The project sparks conflict over race, identity, and the cost of confronting the past. Briar Patch explores the theme of judging character and value by outward appearance and how we can hurt ourselves and each other when we only take a surface look.
