Yasmina Reza's ART to Open 9/6 at Raleigh Little Theatre

Yasmina Reza's Art opens this Friday, kicking off the adult play season at Raleigh Little Theatre. Lines are drawn and old friends square off when one purchases a canvas that is essentially a pure white painting.

Art is directed by Jesse R. Gephart, who has previously directed at RLT and several other theaters through the Triangle, including Theatre in the Park, Raleigh Ensemble Players and Bare Theatre.

On Thursday, September 26, the North Carolina Museum of Art Contemporaries will host a special evening on the Gaddy patio overlooking the Rose Garden, with a French wine tasting by The Wine Feed and the food truck Parlez-Vous Crepe.

RLT will host its first Hopscotch Day Party with Paradise of Bachelors and WXYC. This free concert runs from 12-5:30pm on Saturday, September 7 in the Stephenson Amphitheatre. Full details on the lineup are at http://www.paradiseofbachelors.com.

Art runs from September 6-29. Thursday, Friday and Saturday showings are at 8 PM; Saturday and Sunday matinees are at 3 PM, but there is no Saturday matinee on September 7.
