Triad Playwrights Theatre Presents ‘The Unders’ October 13-16

Creative Greensboro will host Triad Playwrights Theatre (TPT) for a Residency at The Hyers on October 10-16. The residency will culminate with performances of Pete Turner's play, "The Unders" on October 13-16 at the Stephen D. Hyers Theatre, in the Greensboro Cultural Center,­ 200 N. Davie St. Tickets are available in advance online.

"The Unders" is a powerful drama about racial injustice and bigotry with characters who may, or may not, remember who they are. The quartet are locked in a ghost train racing through the darkness to an unknown destination: either Freedom or Hell. Not all will survive.

"It's great to live in a place where new plays can be born," said Turner, of the Triad Playwrights Theatre. "It's always magic for me to watch my words come to life on a stage. The actors in 'The Unders' bring so much to this story."
