Priceless Gem: An Athlete Story

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...

Here is what the media had to say about our play:

We will hold a public reading of our Untitled Athlete Play on Monday, October 27th at 7pm at the Kenan Theatre in the UNC Center for Dramatic Art. Join us to experience the piece and lend your feedback to the play's evolution--maybe you'll think of the perfect title!

RSVP: Facebook Event

About the piece:
Set on a cabaret stage, our Untitled Athlete Play explores how we as outsiders perceive student athletes--as gladiators, idiots, heroes, and brutes. Centered around text from over 30 interviews with current UNC athletes (from revenue and non-revenue sports), the play attempts to give UNC athletes a voice in the void between the University rhetoric and the athletic scandal.
