Midnight readings. Large scale parties. Clubbing. Lots and lots and lots of jazz.
The streets of Winston-Salem are going to filled with theater festival-related stuff tonight, and good luck finding a parking space. Here’s some stuff you might want to pay attention to:
1. First Fridays Triad, Sundance Plaza Hotel 9 p.m. Be well dressed and solidly in your 20s. Also, be willing to spend a lot of time in the bathroom, checking your hair!
2. Stepping Out in Black and Purple, 7:30 p.m. Be willing to learn about Chicago style stepping. There will also be a dance show with children. Kids today!
3. Embassy Suites, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m: Music, Dance, Spoken Word, & Drama. That’s pretty much the whole package right there.
4. Club 411, DJ and dancing. Right next door to the Marriott.
5. Speakeasy Jazz Cafe. All night jazz jam session.
6. Midnight Poetry Jam, Benton Convention Center. More spoken-word poetry than you can shake a stick at. Pack a lunch, because that line is long!
7. Theater Conversations at Midnight, Marriott Hotel. New plays! New actors! Garland Lee Thompson!
Enjoy! And be careful out there!
