Fletcher Opera Theater
A contemporary twist on a holiday classic.
Clara’s Trip is an entertaining fusion of gravity-defying cirque, athletic dancing and a timeless story that is a treat for the entire family.
Clara has grown up to be a kind and energic young lady who loves to dance but is a little clumsy. While dancing at Mr. and Mrs. Flowers' holiday party, she trips over her own feet and is whisked off to the hospital to learn that her ankle is broken. That night Clara dreams that her foot is healed allowing her to dance like she has never before with surprises from her friends.
Y'all Weekly by Jesse Kimmel: “The format is certainly recognizable, but the story, the acting, the dance, and the acrobatic feats are fresh and surprising.”
CVNC by Michelle Medina-Villalon: “Clara's Trip makes for an exhilaratingly fun night for families of all ages."
Caroline Calouche & Co. is a dance and circus arts company based out of Charlotte, North Carolina. Learn more about them here.

Christmas is a time of giving, sharing, and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
"The Real Meaning of Christmas" is an inspirational theatrical comedy stage play. The play takes place inside of the Weaver family home, where you will find Latifah Weaver, a single mother; and her struggles to raise two children. Her goal has always been to give her children the Christmas that she, as a child, never had.
Her son, has high expectations of what he wants for Christmas and his meaning of Christmas, being that he has his eyes set on a young lady, that he wants to impress during this holiday season
Latifah's daughter, is so consumed with her own beauty, that she overlooked the needs of all those around her.
Papa Tre, Latifah's 60 year-old father, has characteristics of Scrooge, he hates Christmas, and hates the thought of his granddaughter, Bre', who is set to come visit for Christmas.
Bre' is accustomed to the "lifestyle of the rich and famous" but finds it difficult adjusting to Christmas in an unfamiliar environment.
See what happens, as we understand the real meaning of Christmas. Watch as we find out about "real love". Join us as we find the "value of giving"... and we realize that there is NO GREATER MEASURE OF LOVE or GIVING than that of our father above... The Real Meaning of Christmas is sure to make you laugh, think and inspire you.
