Blumenthal Performing Arts

Heidi Cross of Salisbury and Bethany Emmons of Charlotte have been captivating audiences as they alternate the role of Lulu in 'Waitress,' at the Booth Playhouse in uptown Charlotte. The young actresses discuss their stage debuts with WFAE's Nick de la Canal.

The new stage show tells the real life stories of Black women in Charlotte. It also kicks off a week-long artistic celebration of Black women in Charlotte, called "Queen Charlotte Week."

We ask two Ardrey Kell High debate students for their thoughts on "What the Constitution Means to Me,' which opened this week at Charlotte's Knight Theater.

The "Intrude" installation is back in Charlotte and bigger than it was when it first debuted in the Queen City in 2019. There are 12 large, inflatable bunnies that light up at night near First Ward Park through Oct. 12, and one of them is more than 35 feet tall.

The popular Immersive Van Gogh exhibit at Camp North End was closed Thursday and Friday because of a power outage and flooding caused by heavy thunderstorms in the Charlotte area Wednesday night.

Charlotte’s artist-in-residence program at the Immersive Van Gogh exhibition is triple the size of similar programs staged in other cities for the national touring show. That’s thanks, in part, to how well Charlotte ticket sales have gone. But it’s also because Bree Stallings, Blumenthal Performing Arts' director of artistic experiences, simply asked.

Full paintings and pieces of works by the famous 19th-century Dutch impressionist Vincent Van Gogh come to life and are broadcast on the walls and floor of a 500,000-cubic-feet space at Camp North End, set to classical and contemporary music in a show that lasts about 30 minutes.

On tap this weekend in Charlotte: A wine festival, a special showing of a classic '80s film, a Sistine Chapel exhibit, live jazz and a film series that features a tribute to the history of the city's Brooklyn neighborhood. We talk about all that and more.

"Immersive Van Gogh" is headed to Camp North End in June. It's the Southeast premiere of the exhibit — but one of an increasing number of similar events across the country.

When Blumenthal Performing Arts announced its 2021-22 PNC Broadway Lights Series shows last week, there was still one big question that lingered: How? How are they actually going to put on these Broadway shows during a pandemic?
