Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte’s latest production, Yankee Tavern, is a teasing mystery that will have your pulse racing — and that’s without alcohol in your system. The play centers around a young couple who work as proprietors at the Yankee Hotel; they face some serious scrutiny when a series of events begin to unravel, ultimately suggesting conspiracy theories in key events in American history. When a stranger pops into the picture, more doubts arise. To trust a stranger or not to trust a stranger … that is the question. $10-$29.
