Carolina Actors Studio Theatre
Carolina Actors Studio Theatre's latest production is aimed toward facing horrific tragedies, like the shootings at Columbine High School and Virginia Tech. Evie's Waltz, a play by Carter W. Lewis, follows a teen's own shooting rampage at a family barbecue. Those in the audience are thrown in the middle of it all, as shots are fired during the theatrical chaos.
