Abstract:
The Murphey School auditorium has been renovated and is now the home of the Burning Coal theater group. The group raised 1.2 million dollars to renovate the school. The space is the most attractive and versatile private art space in the city and can accommodate more patrons than the other local companies. The Murphy School sits on the edge between Raleigh’s black and white communities and Burning Coal is excited at the prospect of bringing the two groups together through theater.
