What a wonderful event! Monday night we had excellent turn out for our first public reading of Priceless Gem: An Athlete Story. In the audience were UNC Chancellor Folt, the Provost and Vice Provost, Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham, faculty, staff, student athletes, non-athletic students, alumna, and other interested citizens.
After the reading of our 45-minute play, we had an extensive feedback discussion. We were able to hear what individuals saw as the crux of the play, what they didn't understand, and what more they wanted to see and hear. Everyone was struck by the relevance of the piece, and many confessed to being close to tears. I'm so pleased that the voices of UNC athletes were heard last night, and I can't wait for more to hear.
Now, it's back to the drawing room...
