Native: Instagram post by @patricegopo
From Instagram…
"During dinner at the [NC Writers'] Conference, I had the opportunity to watch an abridged version of the @ebzbproductions play "Native." I can't say this enough: if you ever, ever have an opportunity to see this play, see this play. The play by Ian Finley is based on the true story of Paul Green and Richard Wright turning Wright's 1940 novel "Native Son" into a play. All the while, they discuss race relations of the time period. But so much of what they say could be about now. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing."

Let Us Now Praise Famous Women Who Raise Us Up
The North Carolina Humanities Council’s Board of Trustees selected Dr. Margaret Donovan Bauer as the recipient of the 2018 John Tyler Caldwell Award for the Humanities, the Council’s most prestigious honor.The award recognizes Dr. Bauer for her lifelong achievements as a professor, editor, scholar, author, and supporter of literature in North Carolina.
In a ceremony and reception, held on the evening of Friday, October 5, 2018 at the Friday Conference Center in Chapel Hill, Dr Bauer used her acceptance speech to praise EbzB Productions' touring play, Native.
"When you see that play [Native] advertised in your area, go see it—and bring a friend. If you don’t see it coming to your community, bring it to your community (that’s ebzb.org, for more information). This play about the collaboration between our own Paul Green, creator of The Lost Colony, and Richard Wright on adapting Wright’s Native Son for the stage in the early 1940s explores conversations we should be having, not shying away from, about the American ideals that are not equally accessible to everyone, about recognizing discrimination and white privilege. It is a provocative, timely play--“intense” and “moving” were the adjective my students used the class period after. Our audience ranged from ECU students to retirees, and we had an inspiring talk-back when it was over. Make this happen on a stage near you. I believe we all went home Tuesday night feeling more enlightened, more empathy after hearing Green and Wright try to “talk the darkness away,” to borrow a phrase Green once used. Isn’t that what we all need these days? To communicate, to educate until we talk the darkness away?"EbzB is humbled and honored by the unsolicited praise. Dr. Bauer used her well-earned spotlight selflessly. We promise to pay it forward.
Thank you and Congratulations, Dr. Bauer!

‘NATIVE’ play to address police brutality, gun violence tonight...
In the heat of today’s current climate, EBZB Productions will present a play tonight which shines a light on modern-day hot topics such as police brutality, oppression and gun violence in America.
The play “NATIVE,” written by playwright Ian Finley, is based off a true story about a collaboration between playwright Paul Green and novelist Richard Wright as they work to turn the 1940 novel “Native Son” into a stage play, all while debating about race relations in the time period.
“Native Son,” written by Wright, tells the story of 20-year-old Bigger Thomas, an African-American youth living in utter poverty in a poor area on Chicago's South Side in the 1930s.
During the process of adapting “Native Son” for the stage, Green (a white, Southern professor) and Wright (a self-educated African-American with communist sympathies) gain respect for each other as they discuss the discrimination of African-Americans during the 1940s, according to EBZB Productions’ website.
Wright and Green later met again during rewrites of the play and had a disagreement over who has the “right to the story of race, politics and social class,” as stated on EBZB Productions website.
Following the play, the audience will be able to talk with the producers, actors, playwright and Margaret Bauer, the Harriot College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor at East Carolina University, about the play.
“Conversations about race are difficult, but we need to have them,” Bauer said. “Debates do not always end in complete agreement, but we can remain respectful of those who differ from us.”
Bauer said she found out about the play when serving on the board of the Paul Green Foundation in the 1980’s, while reading past interviews done with Green about “NATIVE.” Bauer added she was then able to bring the play to the community through EBZB Productions, a nationally-touring theatre company.
Even though “NATIVE” has not yet been performed in eastern North Carolina, Bauer claims the play has been very well received in the Triangle. Bauer added her first reaction to “NATIVE” was the play had “a story worth telling.”
Although there are no ECU students in the play’s cast, Bauer said “NATIVE” is a play which can appeal to students who have read or are interested in reading “Native Son.”
“The African American literature students have read the book ‘Native Son’ and it would be interesting for students to see,” Bauer said.
Baxter Jones, a criminal justice and African-American studies double major, said while “NATIVE” was introduced to him as an extra-credit opportunity he hopes he and his classmates will gain a “life-changing perspective” from watching the play.
“With today’s climate, it’s crucial to understand how we got here in the first place,” Jones said. “Theater is one of the best way to convey that racial dynamic in a way people can easily visualize and understand.”
Finley, the playwright of “NATIVE,” is originally from Utah and attended New York University’s Tisch School of the Performing Arts for his graduate studies in playwriting. The first play he wrote was “The Nature Of The Nautilus,” which was later adapted in American Sign Language (ASL) for deaf actors.
When asked why he was inspired to write “NATIVE,” Finley said throughout his life, he has always been asked to “write about (the) communities that he was not apart of.” In writing “NATIVE,” Finley added his motivation for the story was conflict.
“I saw an opportunity to explore the conflict I had found myself in many times,” Finley said.
Like other playwrights, Finley said he gets a “thrill” from seeing his work come to life on the stage. Finley added he feels the message behind the play is why it is important for younger audiences to hear “NATIVE.”
“Privilege is nothing new and if we are privileged, our greatest responsibility is to listen more than we speak,” Finley said.
“NATIVE” will start tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Whirligig Stage. The cost is free for students with a valid student ID card and is $10 for the general public.

EbzB Arts Integration Workshop at Greenville High School
With gratitude to Julie Florin who brought EbzB Productions in for a special workshop at Greenville High School. We worked with choral students to develop emotional connections to lyrics and music. The students internalized, then manifested the meaning of songs using the actors tools of Breath, Body, Eyes, Face, Voice. Students created their own choreography from gestures. Pictured below are several moments caught in silhouette by the amazing student crew. Ms. Florin, a long time associate of EbzB Productions, has put together an award-winning program in the two academic years she has served at Greenville High School in South Carolina. We are honored that she chose to bring us in to serve.

Arts In Education: NATIVE at Research Triangle High School
#EbzB presented Native by Ian Finley at Research Triangle High School in North Carolina in March, 2018. Mr. Finley, the playwright, also teaches at the school. Research Triangle High School hosted two performances of Native with post-show discussions. Students were attentive and asked excellent questions about race, politics, theater, economics and identity. When told that the book Native Son was once banned in schools, the interest of the students grew. The post-show discussions were frank, open, difficult, and revealing.
After the performance, actors J. Mardrice and David zum Brunnen took time to explain how they prepared for the roles of Richard Wright and Paul Green. Director Serena Ebhardt discussed themes and viewpoints in the material, and how to stage them. Ian Finley, playwright and dramatic art teacher, emphasized the importance of research and revisions, noting that the current script of Native used by EbzB Productions is in its 15th draft! Marketing assistant Devra Thomas and historian Cecelia Moore also attended the performance in supporting roles.
Two students from Research Triangle High School are preparing Set and Multimedia designs for future performances of Native. Upon seeing the production, they have submitted proposals and drawings of their excellent ideas to EbzB. #ArtsIntegration and #ArtsInEducation in action at RTHS!

War Bonds and Workshops in Greenville, SC
What a fantastic day at Greenville High School! Host and Drama Teacher Julie Florin invited #ebzb for two student matinees. Student technicians provided excellent sound and lighting design. Audiences were warm and responsive. We felt very welcome.
After the performance, Serena led two Workshops. The first supplied student singers with several actor tools to interpret a song. Then we created choreography by combining gestures to create tableaux.
The second workshop was with the cast of Greenville High School’s upcoming production of Grease. We specifically worked on creating characters and manifesting them through body work. (It was great fun for Serena to revisit her glory days of playing Sandy at Raleigh Little Theatre back in 1982! Tell Me More lyrics were easily recalled from 30+ years ago.).
EbzB’s Music Director, Julie Florin suggested a marvelous lakeside restaurant at the Marina to end the day. Good work, Good friends, good theatre, good music, and intelligent talented youth! How fortunate we are.
Thank you, Chatham Arts! Our Youth Are Thriving.
Our next generation is creative and thriving...
In March J.S. Waters School created "The Wonderful World of Goldston" with help from EbzB
In April, Moncure Elementary creates "The Regulators!"
Both projects are sponsored by #ChathamArts.
Compliment: Native, High Point Arts Council Centennial Station Arts Center
“Native is educational, thought provoking, and perhaps one of the most pertinent productions out there today on race relations in America."
-Clint Bowman, Presenter, High Point Arts
Compliment: Native at Centennial Station, High Point, NC
Yesterday I had the opportunity to witness the EBZB production of Native. The production was OUTSTANDING! David zum Brunnen as Paul Green and J. Mardrice as Richard Wright give a tour de force performance that will make you think, make you cringe and bring a better understanding of racial inequality throughout the south and our country.Many times when I watch a drama I exit the theatre talking about the production, Native caused me to not talk about the performance until I had had time to truly digest it. Powerful, insightful, chilling and relevant are the words that immediately come to mind.Ian Finley’s script gets straight to the heart of matter, and offers light to a topic that is often shrouded and hidden from polite eyes.Simply Brilliant! See it!Dave BriggsDirectorHigh Point TheatreHigh Point, NC
