Review: ANTONÍN DVOŘÁK’S NEW WORLD SYMPHONY at Knight Theater


by Perry Tannenbaum - April 01, 2026

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: THE OUTSIDERS at Belk Theater


by Perry Tannenbaum - February 09, 2026

Musically and dramatically, THE OUTSIDERS plays like a top-notch chamber version of WEST SIDE STORY: less-heated animosities between the gangs, no symphonic aspirations to the music, and no hormones - none of these Greaser dudes has a girl! But when the music, the jagged choreography, and the specia...

Review: THE WINTER'S TALE at Davidson Community Players


by Perry Tannenbaum - February 03, 2026

Yes, Davidson Community Players’ executive director Steve Kaliski certainly had a point this past weekend when he declared, “My kingdom for The Autumn’s Tale!” DCP had invited Shepherd Shakespeare Company, which normally performs outdoors at The Barn on Monroe Road, to perform THE WINTER’S...

Review: BE A LION at Booth Playhouse


by Vickie Evans - December 12, 2025

What a remarkable and entertaining night of theatre. 'Be A Lion' was absolutely sensational.

What an incredible journey with sensational songs and gl...
