HOMECOMING, the next stage production from Rock and Fortress Productions will debut at McGregor Hall in Henderson, NC.

Written and directed by Jametrice Alston-Jones, HOMECOMING is about “six best friends from high school in a small town hid a secret and met back up Homecoming weekend, for the first time after 15 years. They never returned to their hometown out of fear that people would find out what they did, until they received an anonymous letter threatening to expose their secret. This is a play about spirituality, friendship, secrets, broken promises, and never forgetting where you came from.”

Doors open at 3pm. Play starts at 4pm.

For tickets and more information, call/text (252) 213-5420.

A group of competitive real estate salesmen vie for leads in order to sell undesirable resort property to unwitting customers.

Taking a fresh approach by casting both male and female local talent, the play highlights portions of two days in the lives of four desperate real estate agents who are prepared to engage in any number of unethical, illegal acts—from lies and flattery to bribery, threats, intimidation and burglary—to sell real estate to unwitting prospective buyers, or face being fired.

“Glengarry Glen Ross” was written by David Mamet in 1982-1983, and it won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama as well as the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play in 1984. It has had three successful runs on Broadway, initially in 1984, then in 2005 and again in 2012. The 1992 feature film of the play starred Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, and Alan Arkin. Alec Baldwin makes a memorable cameo.

David Mamet’s “Glengarry Glen Ross” contains an extraordinary amount of profanity used by these characters. It could definitely be rated “R for explicit language.” Please be forewarned! This show is not suitable for children, or anyone squeamish about “bad” language.

TICKETS
General Admission: $30
Student/Senior: $15
