Read MoreTriangle Theatre and Dance 2023: The Best of What We Saw
by Byron Woods | Dec 31, 2023 | Articles, Dance, Dance Theatre, Feature, Musical Theatre, News, Theatre | 0
Since end-of-year wrap-ups inevitably use a lot of figures, let’s start with the most improbable one of all: 338, for the number of theater and dance productions staged in North Carolina’s Triangle region during 2023. For those counting, it was an all-time high in terms of yearly output for the area, a remarkable comeback for the two art forms that had been most threatened during the first three years of the COVID-19 pandemic.
No, we couldn’t see them all. The curated lists here of superlatives come from the one-hundred shows we did view from the region’s major companies and selected up-and-comers through the year.
The only way a region produces 338 different shows is with a large pool of artists and an even more extensive community of support. Those whose job it is to fret over even good news wondered at year’s-end how sustainable such a level of output could be. We’ll get an answer to that question in the coming year.

It is a great honor to announce that CVNC.org has been awarded an Emerging Leader Award by the The Kennedy Center for our accessibility work. Andrea Luke, Executive Director has also been accepted into an Arts Learning Community for Universal Access (LEAD) as a CVNC representative by Raleigh Arts, which includes LEAD Conference attendance this summer and cohort meetings with other arts professionals. Luke has also been awarded the Kennedy Center Lehman Scholarship to further help support her LEAD Conference experience. This year’s LEAD conference will take place in late August in Boston, Massachusetts.
CVNC is grateful and excited to accept these opportunities and jump into arts accessibility work with both feet. Luke has noted that as executive director for CVNC, LEAD has been one of most fun and rewarding part of her job thus far. Says Luke, “I’m so lucky to be receiving extra support and validation in these efforts.”
Last year, Raleigh Arts sponsored the attendance of Luke and Maggie Pate, Editor in Chief at the LEAD conference which was held in Raleigh. Luke notes that since that time, she has added arts accessibility work to her job description because of the impact that the Kennedy Center’s Leadership Exchange in Arts and Disability Conference had on her. Last year’s conference gave the CVNC team many amazing ideas on how to improve our coverage and CVNC has begun a massive website redesign over the summer that will not only update our infrastructure, but allow us to implement more thoughtful accessibility features throughout.

We are so excited to get to share some big news with you! CVNC is rebranding!
CVNC has contracted Vitruvian Vector out of Winston-Salem, NC, to update the Cultural Voice of North Carolina’s brand and website. After announcing CVNC’s official name change on March 1, 2022, the leadership team – including staff, board, and writers on an internal branding committee – discussed some goals related to the look and feel of CVNC.org and its related branding. The main elements this team came back to were ease of use, streamlined infrastructure and back-end editing, and visual modernization. Much of these changes will happen behind the scenes in the next 6-8 weeks as the website is migrated to a newer host that will be easier to edit and customize while preserving the integrity of our archived articles and events. However, the branding changes are the first visible results of these efforts and the leadership team has been bursting to share the results!
