Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte, 650 East Stonewall Street, is inviting the public to the first rehearsal for “River City.” This event, called Fuel the Art is a chance to see the very beginning of a production, which will make it even more interesting when you return to see the real deal. Not only is the event free but there will be free pizza and beer as well. There are only 200 spots and you need to sign up in advance. Please do so by following the above link, not by leaving a comment on this post, which will do nothing for you. It takes place Monday, August 4th, 2014. The event starts with the beer and pizza at 6:00 p.m. and the rehearsal starts at 7:00 p.m.
River City will be at Actor’s Theatre in September, with previews in late August. Here’s a synopsis: Just weeks after her father’s death, Mary discovers a childhood photograph of him from a past he never talked about. Determined to excavate her heritage, Mary goes on a quest to uncover a half-century of family and town secrets buried in the West End of Louisville, Kentucky. Sometimes, going back home means leaving life behind.
