Last winter audiences laughed and cheered at Jennifer Justice’s dazzling original play, “Alice, a mad musical adventure.” This year Justice’s newest musical, “Brigid, the legend begins,” will bring howls of laughter, gasps of suspense, and rousing ovations. The musical is a bold and breathtaking homage to the storytelling tradition, once our only form of entertainment and still the way we determine who we are, individually and in community.
Jennifer Justice began studying theatre more than fifty years ago; she has made her living on the stage and in classrooms, and traveled the nation as a “master storyteller.” (Boston Globe) In 2016, the board of New England’s longest running storytelling conference, “Sharing the Fire,” named a scholarship after Justice, honoring her significant contributions to arts education.
Durham Regional Theatre is an intentionally multi-racial, intergenerational, not-for-profit theatre building community, character and careers since 2010. All of our plays tenaciously reflect the rich diversity of our community.
