Live theater is a live experience that has an energy that watching tv or movies just can't match. When my husband and I were first dating, he took me to a lot of plays that came off of Broadway and toured the country. I loved every one of them and asked him for Christmas If maybe we can get tickets to see more local theater.

Sadly, it's very expensive to travel to New York to see plays on Broadway; even for people who live in the area, it can be prohibitively expensive. But while we all can’t see a Broadway play right now, we can experience the excitement of a Broadway show right here in our city.

Actors love performing on stage as well: there are so many famous actors today who started on Broadway or even in plays in their local hometown.

They become movie stars, but many of them come back to the Broadway stage because of their love for the stage and their love for having a live audience to react to the lines and emotions their characters emote.

I thought I would specify where in Charlotte, you can see a play with live actors acting out that familiar story or a new tale right here in town.
