Carolina Series: Lobster Man
Originally written as a one-act play, Lobster Man was originally selected for production in the Samuel French Off-Broadway Festival in New York City, in 2023. After its New York premiere, Cook expanded the script to full length, and it will have its World Premiere here at the Etherredge Center, as part of the Carolina Series.

The Houston Press has described the play as a “dreamlike, magical story.” Jonathan Cook is an actor, director, and award-winning American playwright. Many of his stage plays have been produced around the World and he's a five-time recipient of the Porter Fleming Literary Award.

Enjoy Shawn’s exhibit in our gallery from February 7-March 16, 2025. “As far back as I can remember,” Shawn says, “every part of my life has felt like a work of art- the way I arranged my toys, the direction I chose when walking the aisles of the grocery store, or the collection of notebooks I picked out at the beginning of a new school year. It seems as if my memories are snippets of organized color and movement.” Haynes goes on to add: “As a South Carolina native, those visual snapshots are framed with smells and sounds of the diverse landscapes and varied cultures that have made me whole. These sensations are ever present as I attempt to visually express impressionistic and abstract renditions of the compositions in my mind.” Haynes is an…

Cultural Series: Yamato Drummers
YAMATO is a Japanese Taiko drumming group based in Asuka-mura Nara Prefecture which is well known by Japanese people as the hometown of Japanese drumming. Founded in 1993, these amazing drummers have performed in fifty-four countries around the world. This is their first American tour since 2020.
YAMATO’s Taiko work cannot be fully described by the word “performance.” On stage, they stand with more than 40 Taiko drums, all of which have different characters. The largest drum called “Odaiko,” is produced from a huge tree over 400 years old, is approximately two meters in diameter and weighs 500 kg. All other Taiko drums are different sizes and each have different sounds.
The members of the group train their bodies extensively to beat the massive Taiko drums. While Taiko drums can explode with sound, they can also produce delicate music that provides the listener with a palette of meticulously crafted notes. This is why YAMATO’s performances are known as “Physical Music,” and their performances receive…
