Ticket sales have been phenomenal for Wilson's Theater of the American South, according to the Wilson Daily Times.
"Although he doesn't have exact figures, [Wilson Arts Council Executive Director Barry] Page said ticket sales for the three-week event, which starts tonight and running through June 3, have been up compared to last year, and calls from people outside of Wilson have doubled.
"People in Raleigh, Greenville and Rocky Mount have been calling the Arts Council, eager to see 'Driving Miss Daisy' and 'Oldest Living Confederate Widow: Her Confession' at the Boykin Center, and the cooking demonstrations being held at local residents' homes, he said. ...
"Although there are no sellout performances yet, Page said he wouldn't be surprised if that changes. He watched a rehearsal this week and was impressed with the dedication the actors gave to their parts. ..."
The Theater of the American South festival runs through June 3. The performances are at the Boykin Center in downtown Wilson. Tickets are available online at www.theateroftheamericansouth.org.
