THE PASSION OF MARY CARDWELL DAWSON (Simon/Seaton)

AJ Fletcher Theater, Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts 2 E South Street, Raleigh

Starring acclaimed mezzo-soprano Denyce Graves! North Carolina-born trailblazer Mary Cardwell Dawson founded the National Negro Opera Company in the mid-20th century, creating unprecedented opportunities for Black artists and audiences across America. One evening in 1943, the company is scheduled to perform Carmen on a floating barge on the Potomac River. When inclement weather threatens to force the performance into a segregated hall, Mary must navigate the raging storms to ensure the show goes on.
