Each space is full of distinct character, just like the city of Durham.

Located at 202 N. Corcoran Street in the heart of historic downtown Durham, North Carolina, Unscripted is walking distance from the American Tobacco Campus, Durham Bulls Athletic Park, Durham Performing Arts Center and some of the city’s finest restaurants and bars.
