The Shot

This is a make-up performance for the Jan. 11 performance that was postponed due to inclement weather. Tickets for the Jan. 11 show will be valid at this showing on Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 7:30 p.m. We would like to thank Sharon Lawrence and the PlayMakers crew and staff for extending the show’s run, allowing all ticket holders to enjoy the performance.

Join PlayMakers Repertory Company for a showing of “The Shot”, a powerful one-woman show starring Emmy-nominated actor and UNC Hussman alumna Sharon Lawrence ’83.

PlayMakers will host a talkback for the UNC Hussman community after this showing, including a moderated conversation between Lawrence and Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies and Curriculum Jules Dixon-Green.

The production explores Katharine Graham’s experience as an abused wife before her legendary tenure at The Washington Post, where she defied the U. S. government by publishing both the Pentagon Papers and the Watergate story. Her resilience set the stage for her transformation into an emblem of power in the media world.
