North Carolina High School Choir Shares Stage With Legendary Rock Band
Truth be told, I’m fired up to be going to see a Foreigner tribute band playing in Monroe tomorrow night. So, I can’t even imagine how cool it was for the Clayton High School Chorus to take the stage with the actual band, Foreigner, in Raleigh on Wednesday night. Alright, let’s be honest.

Review: Raleigh Little Theatre's SOMETHING ROTTEN!
Set in the year 1595, Something Rotten! follows Nick & Nigel Bottom, two playwriting brothers who struggle to find success in the theatre as they compete with the wild popularity of their contemporary, William Shakespeare.
