      Sick of the standard &quot;Ringling Bros. and yadda yadda&quot; circuses? Well, I&#39;d suggest you ease on down to see the UniverSoul Circus, which kicks off its run in Charlotte today. Unlike those other run-of-the-mill animal/clown-infested big-top events, UniverSoul delivers a truly international and multicultural brand of entertainment; be on the lookout for acts like the West African contortionists of Twisted Soul, the Chinese Foot Jugglers, and artists from the Dominican Republic jumping through the Wheel of Death, among many others.

      Since their start in 1984, members of Skinny Puppy -- who go by the monikers of cEvin Key and Nivek Ogre -- have released a dozen albums, all of which dwell in the dark realm of electro-industrial. Of course, many of their discs -- beat-heavy with grim vocals and haunting melodies -- sound more like mood music for Halloween. It really could be the trick in stopping children (and adults too!) from setting foot on your door step. Oh well,

      Actor&#39;s Theatre of Charlotte&#39;s latest production, Yankee Tavern, is a teasing mystery that will have your pulse racing&shy; -- and that&#39;s without alcohol in your system. The play centers around a young couple who work as proprietors at the Yankee Hotel; they face some serious scrutiny when a series of events begin to unravel, ultimately suggesting conspiracy theories in key events in American history. When a stranger pops into the picture, more doubts arise. To trust a stranger or not

As a result, she conducted more than 100 interviews with pregnant women (now THAT takes guts), before setting out to write her own play titled Birth. The play, based on eight women&#39;s real-life experiences with pregnancy, will be performed at Queens University of Charlotte&#39;s Hadley Theatre Nov. 12-15. Let the lamaze breathing begin.

      Boston artist Lo&iuml;s Mailou Jones touched many with the by-product of her paintbrush hitting the canvas. Her works, birthed of the late Harlem Renaissance, grew into more contemporary art with influences splattering from across the globe, including America, Africa, France and Haiti. That in mind, you don&#39;t want to miss Mint Museum of Art&#39;s new exhibition, Lo&iuml;s Mailou Jones: A Life in Vibrant Color, which features more than 70 works by Jones, including paintings, sketches and textile designs.
