CPCC Theatre kicks off its new season with a tasteful and imaginative revue of the music of Rodgers & Hammerstein – A Grand Night For Singing. This fresh take on the music of two of the greatest American writers of musical theatre opened the 1994 Broadway season with flair and distinction, garnering wildly enthusiastic notices as well as earning two Tony nominations, including Best Musical. What makes A Grand Night for Singing so special is its fresh take on some of the most popular music ever written for the stage. Imagine a sultry Andrews Sister-esque “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out-a My Hair” or a swingin’ “Honeybun” worthy of the Modernaires. The New York Post wrote that Grand Night is – “A splendiferous show of songs, a terrific compendium. Everything’s up to date with Rodgers & Hammerstein- it is indeed a grand night!”
“I want your fear. For your fear, like a
current, rushes through your body. Your fear makes your heart pound; it renders your veins
rich and full. “ So says the most famous
vampire of them in all in this exciting new adaptation by Steven Dietz that restores the
suspense and seduction of Bram Stoker’s classic novel to the stage. Rich with both
humor and horror this play paints a wickedly theatrical picture of Stoker’s infamous
villain.

CPCC Theatre asks the honor of your presence at the wedding. Join us as we present the 1950 Critics Award winner for Best Play – The Member of the Wedding. See the play that brought Julie Harris and Ethel Waters to such high acclaim. The Member of the Wedding is the story of a harum-scarum adolescent girl from Georgia, her wise but much put upon house keeper and her ever underfoot cousin as they prepare for her older brother’s wedding. The Journal-American called it “Something rare and special.” You’ll laugh and then cry at this masterpiece of the American stage.
PERFORMANCES are at 8:00 pm except

Pease Lane, Charlotte,NC 28235.
