Central Piedmont Theatre presents William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.
One of William Shakespeare's most celebrated comedies, Twelfth Night is a tale of mistaken identity, love, and the revelry of the festive season. The play unfolds when a young woman named Viola washes up on the shores of far-off Illyric. Believing her twin brother Sebastian perished in the wreck, Viola disguises herself as a man named Cesario to navigate the unfamiliar land. Employed by Duke Orsino, Viola (now Cesario) is charged with communicating Orsino's attempts to woo the Countess Olivia. However, a twist ensues when Olivia, captivated by Cesario's charm, falls in love with the disguised Viola. The plot thickens as Viola herself is smitten with Orsino, creating a triangle of unrequited love.

MoveStudio Charlotte presents their 11th Annual Student Showcase, featuring the Youth Dance Program and Move Dance Company.

The YOC Prep is the premiere full orchestra for the younger musicians in the Charlotte region and provides high quality musical training for dedicated orchestral players. Get swept up in Saint-Saens' Danse Bacchanale, feel the passion of betrayal with Mascagni’s Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana, and clap along with Strauss’ Radetsky March.

Eagles' Wings Studio presents Les Misérables the School Edition.
Les Misérables is the world’s longest running musical — a true modern classic based on Victor Hugo's novel and featuring one of the most memorable scores of all time. With countless awards to its name, Les Misérables is as groundbreaking today as it was when it first premiered in London in 1985. In nineteenth century France, Jean Valjean is released from 19 years of unjust imprisonment, but finds nothing in store for him but mistrust and mistreatment. He breaks his parole in hopes of starting a new life, initiating a lifelong struggle for redemption as he is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe that Valjean can change his ways. Finally, during the Paris student uprising of 1832, Javert must confront his ideals after Valjean spares his life and saves that of the student revolutionary who has captured the heart of Valjean's adopted daughter. His world view shattered, Javert commits suicide, and Valjean finally attains the peace that he has sought for so long. Epic, grand and uplifting,
Les Misérables packs an emotional wallop that has thrilled audiences all over the world. The sung-through pop opera is ideal for a cast of exceptional singers and overflows with melodies that are already standards. A spectacle on Broadway and in London, Les Misérables is equally effective with a minimal set; it is its powerful affirmation of the human spirit that has made Les Misérables a popular masterpiece.
