Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte’s production of Father Comes Home From the Wars (Part 1, 2, and 3) will run from February 24th, 2016, to March 12th, but there are two chances to see it early, and to save money. On Thursday, February 18th, at 7:30 p.m., it’s “Pay What You Can” night. Suggested ticket price is $10, but it really is up to you. There are no reservations and seating is first-come, first-served.
Saturday, February 20th, at 8 p.m., there will be a special preview night, with half price tickets, at $16.50 plus tax. You can buy those tickets in advance online. Friday night’s preview performance has sold out, so don’t delay if you want to go Saturday.
Set during the Civil War, this explosively powerful new drama by Pulitzer Prize-winner Suzan-Lori Parks follows a slave, Hero, from West Texas to the Confederate battlefield. Inspired in part by the stories and scope of Greek tragedy, this trilogy examines the mess of war and the cost of freedom.
