Arts / News Grits at Actor's Theatre of Charlotte
Posted By Anita Overcash on Fri, Jul 31, 2009 at 11:38 AM
The South is known for a lot of things, but sweet tea and grits are the first things to spring to my mind. Then there’s Southern charm — well hopefully you find the charm ... it’s out there somewhere. Can’t find it? Then head to Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte for a drama that’ll seem like the read deal. Kicking off tonight is Grits: The Musical — by the way, Grits stands for Girls Raised in the South. This is a new musical based off of the book Friends are Forevah!, a series of stories about women and their Southern culture, by author Deborah Ford. But, the adaptation, music and lyrics used for the production hit close to home, as they were created by Charlotte’s own Erica McGee. Performances continue through Aug.15. Show dates and times are as followed: July 31-Aug. 1, 8 p.m.; Aug. 2, 3 p.m.; Aug. 5- Aug. 8, 8 p.m.; Aug. 9, 3 p.m.; Aug. 12-Aug. 15, 8 p.m. Tickets are $25.
