Honors Program Staff and Students Attend FENCES

On Sunday, February 28th, members of the Honors Program visited the Open Space Cafe Theater in Greensboro to see FENCES, the Pulitzer Prize winning play by August Wilson. Honors student Timothy Noble said, "The play was very moving and portrayed lots of emotions such as humor, grief, anger and sorrow." Commenting on main character Troy, Honors student Jasmine Hines exclaimed , "I loved to see how Troy had an effect on each person in the play. He tried to keep a good family, but also struggled with temptations outside of his family." One of the perks of being in the Honors Program includes attending plays, concerts, and other special cultural events at reduced prices. Students enjoyed THE COLOR PURPLE, featuring Fantasia, at the Greensboro Coliseum this past fall, as well as DREAMS OF A KING, a musical drama chronicling Dr. Martin Luther King's accomplishments, determination and dreams, at the Barn Dinner Theater in Greensboro in January.
