Unframed Voices: Art. Theater. No Boundaries. is a live theatrical performance featuring short plays written in response to specific artworks in the museum collection. Local theater makers Tamara Kissane, Aurelia Belfield, and Ian Finley will present original pieces inspired by the gallery surroundings, blending visual art with spoken drama. Tickets are 25 dollars for nonmembers and 22.50 dollars for museum members. The performance takes place in the West Building of the North Carolina Museum of Art, which offers free parking in the main lots. Because of the mature themes and quiet gallery setting, this event is best reserved for adults or teenagers with a strong interest in local theater. This event makes an excellent Sunday evening outing because it offers a fresh way to experience the museum after hours. You can grab dinner in nearby West Raleigh beforehand, then head into the galleries to support local writers as they bridge the gap between visual art and live performance.
