OdysseyStage Theatre presents “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”


OdysseyStage’s Senior Readers Theatre and The ArtsCenter present a special matinee performance of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.” on Sunday, November 7 at 3:00 pm at The ArtsCenter, 300-G East Main St. in Carrboro. The admission price is one can of food, which will help stock the food pantry of The Inter-Faith Council for Social Service.

This haunting tale of a man who is born old and grows younger is widely known through the recent film starring Brad Pitt, but the original story from 1922 has its own unique poignancy and humor received accolades in September as part of Readers Theatre at Lunch series, a program for seniors to participate in drama as actors and audience members. The 45-minute presentation was adapted by John Paul Middlesworth, for Senior Readers Theatre

The program is also made possible by a grant from the BJH Foundation for Senior Services.

Further information is available by calling OdysseyStage Theatre at 929-6611 or visiting www.odysseystage.org.

Welcome to March on Poverty

The Inter-Faith Council (IFC) believes that now is the time to stop poverty in its tracks. Many in our community are struggling to hang on; and many need the inspiration of our community leaders to do something about poverty's influence and prominence. We need everyone who cares about reducing poverty's hold over increasing numbers of Carrboro and Chapel Hill households and unsheltered persons. Our new March On Poverty blog summons you to our call and the original call of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the countless among us who have followed in his footsteps. You ask, "how long will this take?" Dr. King said "Not long, because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." Poverty is the primary cause of homelessness and hunger, two community challenges IFC volunteers and staff cross swords with daily. A lack of an adequate response by state, federal and local governments enable and procrastinate these conditions. We seek to create a just community, one that is committed to overcoming social problems by a greater commitment to the common good. We hope our blog will bring you more in touch with these issues. We hope you will come to know the facts about IFC future plans, new program models and new facilities commonly called Community House and FoodFirst. We hope you will join us.

Stay tuned! Stay in touch! March On!

Chris Moran, Executive Director
