So she did.
Tate, a native of Chapel Hill and a
modern-day missionary, created a play
based on the life of William "Daddy"
Seymour, the apostle of the Azusa Street
revival of 1906 to 1909. This move
ment greatly affected the modern black
church.
"The Fire Falls at Azusa Street" will
be performed at the Carrboro ArtsCenter
at 8 p.m. Saturday and at 4 p.m. Sunday.
The musical drama portrays the reli-

Director Sam Irving said his cast of
1 1 had been rehearsing for two months
and had become a strong one.
"We can boast some of the best voices
in Chapel Hill," Irving said. "The gos
pel music is by far the most eloquent
and moving."
Irving, who also portrays Reverend
Seymour in the play, is a University
graduate and has worked as a UNC
teaching assistant.
He formerly hosted the local cable
talk show "The Art of Self-Discovery."
He has been directing local plays for
seven years.
"Our play may be particularly inter
esting for AFAM or history classes be
cause it demonstrates how the church is
an institution that helped blacks get out
of slavery," he said. '
Irving and Tate agree that while their
play's message breaks down racial bar
riers, the play itself also can serve to
break down local barriers between the
students and the community. They en
courage students to attend "Azusa
Street" to show their support for com
munity drama.
Tickets are $10 for general public
and $8.50 for students and senior citi
zens. For details, call Sam Irving at 929

Mayor addresses crime,
local economy at forum
By Dale Castle
Staff Writer
Chapel Hill Mayor Ken Broun
pointed out strengths and admitted
weaknesses of Chapel Hill Thursday as
he welcomed town newcomers at the
Chapel Hill Senior Center.
Broun addressed residents at the
Chapel Hill Senior Center in the first of
an ongoing series of forums sponsored
by the center.
Broun said that to combat financial
problems, he had organized a task force.
"All local government is running out of
money," Broun said.
To improve the town's economy,
Broun encouraged new residents to go
downtown and walk around Franklin
Street. "I would like to see more citi
zens use downtown as a central place,"
he said.
Betterbusinessesneed to be recruited
downtown, and downtown crime also
needs to be reduced, Broun said.
But people can help reduce the crime
rate, Broun added.
"My feeling is the more people that
are downtown, the less crime there will
be," he said.
The Chapel Hill Police Department
has increased patrols in known drug
neighborhoods, Broun said, adding that
he was working on programs for youth
to keep them off the streets.
But Broun said he had not yet found
any definite solutions to the growing
crime problem.
"We presently have a project under
way to deal with questions about drugs
and violent crimes," Broun said.
Broun said volunteers of the commu
nity could offer a lot to Chapel Hill.
"This senior center is an example of
what we can do as a community," he
said.
Despite some weaknesses in Chapel
Hill, new residents said they liked the
town.
