Professors Sequina DuBose <\/a>and Laura Waringer <\/a>have received a Cultural Vision Grant from the Arts & Science Council in support of their project to create a new musical theatre work based on the story of the 1929 strike at the Loray Mill in Gastonia. The $20,000 grant was announced on December 6<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cultural Vision Grants support high quality arts and culture projects presented within Mecklenburg County by Mecklenburg County-based creative individuals or nonprofit organizations that advance one of the following goals: building community by connecting individuals across points of difference; building community by nurturing, celebrating, and supporting authentic cultures and creative expression; increasing relevance by using arts, science and history to address complex community issues; and increasing innovation by supporting the creation of new and groundbreaking work.<\/p>\n

\"historicalDuBose, a voice professor, and Waringer, a theatre professor, co-direct the Musical Theatre Certificate<\/a> program. Last spring they received a New South | Global South grant from the College of Arts + Architecture to begin developing the new musical, Threads<\/em>, which centers around Ella May Wiggins (right), a textile mill worker and single mother who was active in the strike and was subsequently murdered as a result.<\/p>\n

DuBose and Waringer have assembled a creative team that includes playwrights\/alumni Stacey Rose and Raven Monroe, physical theatre professor Carlos Cruz, and composer Mark Dillon, who teaches songwriting at UNC Greensboro. Incorporating the development of the musical into a spring semester course, they will present a \u201cwork in progress\u201d performance at the Loray Mill site on May 8, 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
