Mary Kate Burke and Cape Fear Regional Theatre

Lacey chats with Mary Kate Burke, Artistic Director of Cape Fear Regional Theatre in Fayetteville, NC. Mary Kate arrived at CFRT 4 years ago and is only the 3rd Artistic Director in the theatre’s 59 year history. CFRT is an integral part of its community and wants its friends and neighbors to “think harder, laugh deeper, share experiences, and grow as a community.”

Join the conversation about a very special production of Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grille in a gas station parking lot, an on-line education program called Edutainment, and Mary Kate’s thoughts on current funding in the arts and the importance of not losing time. 

And thanks to my new Co-Editor, Kelly Gabrielle Murphy!
