THEATER: Metamorphoses at Carolina Actors Studio Theatre
All Events

From time to time, we all need to stretch out the ol' vocal chords, whether we have talent in the music realm or not. In this case, a sing-along event comes in handy. It's all about fun and games when Theatre Charlotte presents a Grease Sing-Along with a film screening with subtitled song lyrics, so you can sing your heart out. So what if you're no John Travolta or Olivia Newton-John? Chime in on "You're the One That I Want" and forget your troubles, as "it's electrifyin'!" A pre-show costume contest with prizes gives you the chance to dress up as your favorite Rydell High School character, whether that be a 'T-Bird' like Danny Zoko or one of the 'Pink Ladies' like Sandy Olsen. For tickets, call 704-372-1000 or visit www.carolinatix.org. $12. 7 p.m. Theatre Charlotte, 501 Queens Rd. 704-376-3777. www.theatrecharlotte.org. - Anita Overcash
