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
Scottish Ballet's MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS is likely to stand as the most spectacular triumph at Spoleto Festival USA 2026, and festival founder Gian Carlo Menotti's 1939 radio opera, THE OLD MAID AND THE THIEF, will probably remain the best theatre.…
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.

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.…
Review: THE FLICK at Theatre Charlotte
Kyle J. Britt's high-concept presentation of Annie Baker's Pulitzer Prize-winning play was hit-and-miss at the old Queens Road barn, crash-burning frequently on audibility and unfortunate sightlines. Prospects are better for fuller enjoyment at The Independent Picture House, where the run resumes th…
