A courageous conversation about racism, patriotism and friendship, Native&nbsp;is
 a relevant and powerful&nbsp;production&nbsp;based on the true story of the 
collaboration between Pulitzer Prize winner Paul Green and the 
controversial author of&nbsp;Native Son,&nbsp;Richard Wright. Produced by EbzB Productions,&nbsp;Native features David zum Brunnen as Paul Green and J. Mardrice as Richard Wright.
Native&nbsp;details the metamorphic 
debate between Paul Green and Richard Wright. The authors are originally
 brought together by the Mercury Theatre to adapt Wright’s novel,&nbsp;Native Son,
 for the stage. Green, a white southern professor who advocates for 
social justice, and Wright, a self-educated African-American with 
communist sympathies, forge a deep respect for each other as they 
discuss systemic discrimination against African-Americans.&nbsp; They start 
their collaboration in Chapel Hill, North Carolina like a “house on 
fire.” &nbsp;
Then, in 1941, with World War II on the 
horizon, the two authors meet again in New York for rewrites. Orson 
Welles’ Broadway production is already in rehearsal. Differences over a 
single page of the script create an impasse between Green and Wright. A 
life-changing dialogue about who has the right to tell the story of 
racial, political and class injustice ensues.&nbsp; In spite of their common 
goal to affect social change, the scintillating argument dissolves the 
friendship of the two influential social justice authors.The show is sponsored by Ocracoke Alive with special support from community partners. Admission Free. Suggested Donation of $5 Welcome.
