GREENSBORO, NC - The National award-winning Richard B. Harrison Players of North Carolina A&T State University will present "Stories About the Old Days" by Bill Harris. This often times funny yet dramatic play was presented in June as a benefit performance for the Donald Eugene Coffey Scholarship and is back by popular demand for only two encore performances. The play will be presented August 24 at 7:00 p.m. and August 25 at 3:00 p.m., at the Paul Robeson theatre on the campus of N.C. A&T. This comic drama takes place in a decaying church in Detroit. Clayborn a former blues singer living in the decaying church never ventures out into the world that rejected him. While playing checkers he and Ivy, one of the last members of the congregation, move from animosity to friendship. Both have secrets from the old days as they rescue each other from emotional numbness and terminal loneliness. You will find yourself laughing and fully engaged in the stories about the old days. The play stars Tennille Foust, 1999 A&T theatre graduate and Eric McBroom, senior theatre major. The proceeds from these two performances will go towards A & T Theatre student scholarships.
