Full Nelson:
So far, Full Nelson is a playwright/producer partnership between Mark Cornell and Paul Newell. Dawn’s Early Light is its first production. From 2005 to 2015, Mark and Paul collaborated regularly as founding members of the Roundtable, a playwrights ensemble that has staged over 120 original short works at the ArtsCenter in Carrboro. Full Nelson is fortunate to have been chosen by the Cary Playwrights’ Forum to help launch its new Independent Producers Series, particularly in this challenging time as the number of available venues for Triangle-based theater artists is in decline. Mark and Paul would like to thank The Cary Theater for their critical role in presenting “Dawn’s Early Light,” the guest actors, and you the audience, without whom endeavors like these could not come to fruition.
