SEE & DO: ‘Split in Three’ - Issue Date May 02 2017
Aurora Theatre presents a Southern dramedy from Daryl Lisa Fazio
No value assignedAurora Theatre presents a Southern dramedy, Split in Three, that follows two poor white sisters, Nola and Nell Parson, living in the last Mississippi school district to integrate after Brown v. Board of Education. The Parson sisters are shocked when their biracial half-sister comes down from the North and appears at their doorstep (above). Despite the racially charged atmosphere of the Civil Rights Movement, and though the South had drawn clear lines, these three girls find a personal bond through sisterhood. Writer and Atlanta native Daryl Lisa Fazio is dedicated to constructing complex characters for women of all ages, races and classes. $20-$55. Through May 28. Tues.-Thurs., 8 p.m.; Sat.-Sun., 2:30 p.m. Aurora Theatre, 128 E. Pike St., Lawrenceville. 678-226-6222. www.auroratheatre.com.
