Music

The South is commonly associated with the strumming sounds of country and bluegrass, but they’re far from the only choices in these parts. You’re just as likely to find a big-name rock band as a country singer on the stages at the RBS and the Alltel Pavilion at Walnut Creek.

The North Carolina Symphony performs at Meymandi Concert Hall and a number of other venues across the Triangle. The Regency Park Amphitheatre, completed in 2001, is the site of Summerfest, a series of outdoor concerts in June and July that invites listeners to pull up a lawn chair or blanket and enjoy the symphony under the stars.

Theater

Theatergoers will be pleased with the fine options available. The beauty of the Carolina Ballet, the drama of the National Opera Company and the elaborate sets and costumes of the Broadway South Theatre Series are just a few of the options at the BTI Center for the Performing Arts in Raleigh. For tastes that run beyond the mainstream, check the play list at Manbites Dog Theater or Playmakers Repertory Company.

If you just want to laugh, Charlie Goodnight’s Restaurant and Comedy Club dishes up the best in stand-up and Comedy Sportz is improvisational comedy that encourages audience involvement.
