Enjoy Yoga on the beautiful rooftop/rooftop floor of the Gantt!
It's always a great time for Yoga on the Rooftop. Join us Sundays at 12:30 pm for Yoga with SJ.

The class is designed for students of all levels, all shapes, all sizes, and all ages and will leave you energized, inspired, and ready to take on your week.

Enjoy the one-hour workout and mindfulness practice and then treat yourself to a self-guided tour of our galleries.

The ties that bind – and sometimes smother – are explored with uproarious results in this heartwarming comedy about growing up and growing old. Every Sunday, Nick crosses the river to New Jersey and has dinner with both sets of his Italian-American grandparents. When he announces a dream job that will move him to Seattle, his grandparents spring into action! Determined to keep him close, they devise a series of shameless schemes and hilarious shenanigans that will have you roaring in your seat while reminding you of the wonderful zaniness that is family. A warm-hearted, boisterously funny, and touching story about intergenerational relationships, deep familial love, and the inevitable little heartbreaks that occur as time passes and children grow.

Experience Shakespeare as it was meant to be told in The Winter’s Tale, presented by Davidson Community Players and Charlotte’s Shepherd Shakespeare Company. The New York Times describes it as “a tale of jealousy, loss, and healing that feels remarkably contemporary” and “one of Shakespeare’s most haunting and profound late plays.”

Part tragedy and part comedy, this timeless masterpiece will be presented at the intimate Armour Street Theatre from January 22 -February 1, 2026
