Businesswoman, artist, mother, Janis Joplin fan...and the 4th executive director in NC Theatre's 32-year history. All of these things describe Elizabeth Doran, though it's clear she wouldn't want to be defined by one singular term. She is on a mission to deliver the kind of theatre that Raleigh wants and needs, and she's devoted a lot of time and a lot of her life to figuring out exactly what that is. It could be popular, well-loved Broadway shows and it could also include performances and messaging the audience never saw coming.
NC Theatre's production of 'Annie' runs this July and we talked to Doran about that, other shows coming up, and a whole lot of other things regarding her role and Raleigh's theatre scene.
We also made a (short, underwhelming) list of our #Top3Raleigh theater venues, and discussed what's interesting on a holiday week in Raleigh, including breaking water mains and a potential renters vs. property owners discussion brewing on the city level.
