Location: Triad Stage
Details:
Performance at 8:00 pm. Free Wine Tasting, pre-show event. A comic adventure by Mark Brown, adapted from the novel by Jules Verne. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey. Jules Verne’s classic tale springs to life in this clever, fast-paced comedy for the whole family. Proper gentleman Phileas Fogg strikes a wager and sets off on a race that puts his fortune and life at risk. With his faithful servant at his side, he has just 80 days to circle the globe–an inconceivable feat in the year 1872! Fierce natives, furious typhoons, runaway trains, a damsel in distress and a dogged detective threaten to delay him at every step in this delightful, whirlwind odyssey that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to unexpected end. Tickets: $10-$42, depending on seat location. For tickets: Phone: 336-272-0160 or toll-free 866-579-TIXX. Online: www.triadstage.org.
