This October, the Pulitzer Prize winning drama, Fairview, will come to life in Statesboro.
In its first performance of the season, Georgia Southern Theatre will premiere Fairview on Wednesday, Oct. 5, at the Center for Art and Theatre Blackbox.
This award winning drama was created by Jackie Sibblies Drury and directed by Nichols Newell. It follows an African American family getting ready to celebrate the birthday of their beloved matriarch, when things suddenly take an unexpected turn.
The New York Times calls Fairview: “exquisitely and systematically arranged…a glorious scary reminder of the unmatched power of live theatre to roil rattle and shake us wide awake.”
It is a joyful and life affirming comedy that offers a refreshing take on sensitive issues.
Georgia Southern Theatre's premiere of Fairview will run on Oct. 5 at 7:30 p.m.
The show will start at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, Oct.9.
All performances will be on the Statesboro Campus at the Center for Art & Theatre, behind the Interdisciplinary building next to the Art building.
General admission will be $12 and student admission is $6. For tickets, call the Box Office at 912-478-5379, or reserve a ticket here.
