Reynolds Price’s Trilogy New Music comes to the Triad for a once-in-a-lifetime theatrical event at Triad Stage in Greensboro. Opening night for Part 1: August Snow and Night Dance is Friday, February 17 at 7:30 at Triad Stage 232 South Elm Street, and it runs through March 17. Opening Night for New Music Part II: Better Days will be Saturday night February 25 at 7:30.
The novel solidified Price’s emergence as among the best Southern writers of his generation receiving the William Faulkner Award, and he would go on to teach English at Duke University for more than 50 years, and to pen more than 40 novels, plays, and collections of poetry and short stories.
There will be New Music preview performances, and pay-what-you-can performances as well. Triad Stage also presents Technically Talking,-behind the scenes discussions with members of the design team, and PostScript discussions with the cast. New Music is also part of the Greensboro Public Library’s "One City, One Author" program with a month long celebration of over two dozen events honoring North Carolina native Reynolds Price and his work. Triad Stage will play host to some of these free events including a poetry reading on April 10 titled Toasts for Reynolds with Vic Stranberg.
Triad Stage Director Preston Lane and actor Leah Turley chats with TAUC host David Ford by phone in between rehearsals from Greensboro.

Triad Arts Up Close Scheduling Policies and Procedures
Scheduling for TAUC is done on a first-come, first-served basis in order to ensure equal access to coverage for all artists and arts organizations in the Piedmont Triad.
If you would like to arrange a broadcast date for TAUC, please call David Ford at 336.758.8853 (office) or email triadarts@wfu.edu. If you do not hear back from David within 2 business days, please make another attempt to contact him.
Please note: David is not able to respond to press releases or season calendars.
Plan to contact David 6 to 8 weeks prior to your event to arrange a broadcast date. This will not guarantee that there will be space available, but the month and a half lead time improves the likelihood that TAUC will be able to accommodate you. Some arts organizations plan their seasons many months in advance while others do not. To be fair to all groups, David will not reserve a broadcast date further out than 8 weeks in advance of the event.
In an effort to promote as many different Triad artists as possible, TAUC limits each individual artist and arts organization to three appearances per normal calendar year. Universities will be limited to two programs per academic calendar year per department (i.e. 2 TAUC shows to promote theatre department events; 2 TAUC shows to promote music department events, etc.).
We occasionally air rebroadcast TAUC programs. These encores frequently coincide with current or upcoming events, and for that reason they are scheduled on a week-to-week basis versus 6-8 weeks in advance. If you have an upcoming event, performance, milestone, exhibition, etc., and you feel that a repeat of one of your previous interviews on TAUC would be an appropriate way to promote it, please bring it to David's attention.
