9/11  The Monti Season Opener at The ArtsCenter    (Saturday:  8 pm - 11 pm)
Greg Taylor made local and national headlines last February as the first person ever to be found innocent by the N.C. Innocence Inquiry Commission, the only staterun agency in the country that investigates claims of innocence. In May, he received a full pardon from Governor Bev Perdue. All this came after Taylor had spent over seventeen years in prison for the murder of Jacquetta Thomas. The commission found that there was no evidence linking Taylor to the crime. In addition, it was revealed that the prosecution had withheld evidence that could have acquitted Taylor almost two decades ago. The Monti is a nonprofit organization that invites interesting people from the Triangle community and beyond to tell true, personal stories, unscripted and often offthecuff, in front of a live audience. Past storytellers include Elizabeth Edwards WUNC’s The State of Things host, Frank Stasio Southern Lit icons Lee Smith, Michael Malone, Clyde Edgerton, Daniel Wallace, and Jill McCorkle and behavioral economist, Dan Ariely. Each event combines wellknown national and local figures with lesserknown community members each ready with a great story. In the end, everyone has a story to tell, and The Monti proves it every night. “Greg Taylor is a natural fit for The Monti,” said Jeff Polish, the Director of The Monti. “He’s a real person with a compelling and important story to tell. In fact, to not have invited him into this forum would have been a great oversight on our part.” While that may be true, it does not mean that Taylor would necessarily accept the offer to tell his story. But he did accept and quickly. “As I move on with my life, I hope that I can look back and find some purpose or reason for my experience,” said Greg Taylor. “Perhaps by talking about it in a forum like The Monti, it will help me to find some sort of purpose.” Joining Greg Taylor at The Monti’s Season Opener is a group of renowned literary and broadcasting greats – each alone could headline any Monti show. George Singleton, author of Work Shirts for Mad Men David Gessner, author of Sick of Nature Belle Boggs, author of Mattaponi Queen and Janet Babin, reporter for American Public Media’s MarketPlace. With a lineup this strong, The Monti would only consider holding it at The ArtsCenter. “The Earl and Rhoda Wynne Theatre at The ArtsCenter is the only place I know of in the Triangle that can hold over 300 people while still maintaining a very intimate setting and vibe,” said Jeff Polish. And The ArtsCenter is also excited to present the popular storytelling series as well. “The Monti represents everything we are about – promoting community, showcasing great stories, and providing an amazing evening of entertainment,” adds Jeri Lynn Schulke, Director of ArtsCenter Stage. “We are just thrilled to be hosting an event where Greg Taylor tells his story! He has endured so much and I cannot think of a greater forum for him to express what he has been through.” WHEN: September 11, 8:00pm WHERE: The ArtsCenter 300G East Main Street, Carrboro, NC 27510 TICKETS: $20, $18 ArtsCenter Members, $12 Students 919-929-2787 www.artscenterlive.org
