New York, But In Durham



I have to say, that we're pretty lucky here in the Triangle.

You've heard both Foster and me go on and on about the Durham Performing Arts Center, how it's got great sight lines and acoustics.  (No, really, it does.) One of the things I love best about DPAC is that they continually bring cool Broadway shows right here.  Their tagline of "New York has never been so close" is really true.

I took the opportunity this past week to see War Horse again.  I'd seen it this summer in NYC with the folks from DPAC, and was excited to see it here.  It's still visually stunning with an incredibly compelling story about a boy and his love for his horse.  What really captivated me in New York and again at DPAC were the incredible horse puppets:






It's crazy how you forget that there are people with the horse, and you just fall in love with the way the horse moves, breathes, runs, eats, and responds to Albert, his owner.  These alone are worth the price of admission.  Go be stunned yourself, and if you've never been to DPAC, you're in for a treat--because no matter where you sit, you'll have a great seat.


Tickets for War Horse are on sale now, at dpacnc.com.  War Horse runs until Sunday, October 7th.
