The Mystery of Edwin Drood was written and published by Charles Dickens (much like his other works) in episodic installments. The Drood mystery began publication in 1870, but the author did not live to complete his final installment. This month The Mystery of Edwin Drood (the interactive musical by Rupert Holmes) will finally be solved, with help from a talented cast of University of NC School of the Arts actors, and members of the audience at Performance Place, Thrust Theatre in Winston-Salem.
UNCSA actors Drew Bolander and Maddie Jo Landers paint the scene along with Seattle Shakespeare Company associate artist, director and UNCSA alumnus John Langs.

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.
