Meet This Artist: Actor and Producer David zum Brunnen

The Chatham Arts Council is investing in artists through our Meet This Artist series, introducing you to Chatham County’s creative community one interview at a time.

In this special audio feature, we meet David zum Brunnen, actor, producer and co-founder of EbzB Productions. For decades, David has brought history to life on stage and in classrooms across North Carolina, touring original plays, leading residencies and helping audiences of all ages see themselves in the stories we tell. Now he’s turned that story telling homeward with Farm to Story, a new Chatham Arts Council project, gathering the oral histories of the farmers and food workers who keep our community fed.

So, take a look–or in this case, have a listen—and meet your very inspiring neighbor.

    Thank you for sharing this. I met him briefly earlier this year during election season, but did not know of his wonderful contributions to our world.
