It’s time to get serious with Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte as it presents Rabbit Hole, a doozy of a drama about difficult situations and life altercations. The Pulitzer Prize-winning-play, by David Lindsay-Abaire probably won’t make you laugh, but you’ll be able to relate to it, as it spotlights the usual family conflicts that hop out of tragedies. Directed by Dennis Delamar and featuring a cast made-up of only five people, including Susan Roberts Knowlson, Chip Decker, Julie Janorschke-Gawle, Nikhil Pai, and Polly Adkins all of whom portray characters in dark places. Will they find the light at the end of the tunnel? You’ll just have to see as this emotional trip on stage has its run at Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte through Nov. 29. $24-$29. Nov. 20, 26, 7:30 p.m.; Nov. 23, 2:30 p.m. Nov. 21-22, 28-29, 8 p.m.; Additional performance on “Pay What You Can Night,” Nov. 19, 7:30 p.m. Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte, 650 E.
