Perfect Arrangement ~ Through Nov. 12
This weekend is the last chance to see this dramatic comedy at Raleigh Little Theatre.
It’s 1950, and new colors are being added to the Red Scare. Two U.S. State Department employees, Bob and Norma, have been tasked with identifying sexual deviants within their ranks. There’s just one problem: both Bob and Norma are gay and have married each other’s partners as a carefully constructed cover-up.
Moonlight in the Garden ~ Nov. 9 – 11
Moonlight in the Garden is meticulously designed to showcase the JC Raulston Arboretum’s internationally acclaimed garden and all its splendor. You think their collection is spectacular by day? Wait until you see it artfully lit on a crisp November evening. It’s a magical experience you don’t want to miss.
Bring your family and friends to stroll through the garden, listen to a live band, grab a bite to eat from a food truck, roast a marshmallow or two at the fire pits, and sip a cup of hot apple cider. Be inspired. Be delighted. Be in awe of the beauty of a nighttime garden.
