Review: TERRY STEELE SINGS LUTHER VANDROSS...
. As a musical enthusiast at heart, I was excited by the opportunity to relive some of Luther's greatest hits, including 'Stop to Love,' 'So Amazing,' 'A House Is Not a Home,' and, of course, 'Here and Now'—the song that earned Luther his first Grammy Award. Terry Steele proved to be a consummate …
Review: The 2026 International Black Theatre Festival
I have been attending the International Black Theatre Festival since 2009, and it has yet to disappoint me.

Review: CHARLOTTE FINEST THEATRE ARTISTS WIN BIG
The 2026 ACE Awards was an unforgettable evening filled with exceptional performances, heartfelt acceptance speeches, inspiring worship, and well-deserved recognition.…
Review: FLIP at Charlotte Ballet
Funkier and more humbly budgeted than Charlotte Ballet's extravaganzas at larger venues, FLIP at the McBride Bonnefoux provided a different kind of adventure, substituted promise for polish, and dug deeper into the company's soul.…
Review: THE OLD MAID / QUEEN MARY / MARTHA GRAHAM at Spoleto

Review: THE NOTEBOOK THE MUSICAL at Belk Theater
THE NOTEBOOK The Musical was a charming chamber piece when I first read Bekah Brunstetter's adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' breakout bestseller. But the touring version is now playing to bigger houses than either its original Chicago premiere or its New York engagement. With Broadway-extravaganza pre…
Review: A RAISIN IN THE SUN at Lee St. Theatre
'A Raisin In The Sun', performed at Lee St. Theatre, consisted of a phenomenal cast who brought to life the timeless story, written by Lorraine Hansberry in 1959, of a middle-class family's struggles and dreams in 1950s Chicago and their steps to obtain a better life.…
Review: ANTONÍN DVOŘÁK’S NEW WORLD SYMPHONY at Knight Theater
When Charlotte Symphony announced their 2025-26 schedule last March, they couldn’t have predicted the serendipity of two recent concerts a year later. Three subsequent events had to align. Houston Grand Opera’s world premiere recording of Jake Heggie’s Intelligence had to be released in August…
Review: BNS PRODUCTIONS' SEASON OPENER, KING HEDLEY II at Arts Factory
August Wilson’s brilliance in exposing generational trauma, societal pressure, and the complexity of Black male identity is on full display. The shocking ending seals this as a must-see production.…
Review: SUFFS at Blumenthal Performing Arts
We are gloriously entertained and usefully educated by SUFFS, with a score from Shaina Taub that outshines HAMILTON, but perhaps we should also be more challenged.…
