Straight from the horse’s mouth, local farms and their animal residents have a very important job when it comes to what ends up on your dinner plate. Dig into the fun of farming when Charlotte Nature Museum hosts its June Creature Feature, Farm Day, Saturday, June 15, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

Whether you’re a kid of the human or goat variety, you probably enjoy munching fruits and nibbling veggies. When these wholesome foods come straight from the fields in your community, not only are you helping local farmers but you’re probably grazing on very fresh food.

The Carolinas Acting Studio is presenting its production of David Auburn's Proof this week.

The play follows Catherine, a brilliant but unstable mathematician who spent years caring for her father.

After her father's death, Catherine must deal with the arrival of her estranged sister and the attentions of her father's former student who hopes to find valuable work in the notebooks her father left behind.

With a blooming romance and the discovery of the mysterious notebook, Catherine wonders how much of her father's madness - or genius - that she inherited.

The show contains profanity, so parental guidance is suggested.

Theater-goers can catch the performance at the Carolina Actors Studio Theater, located in Suite 113 at 2424 North Davidson Street in Charlotte, Thursday May 30 through Sunday June 1, at 8 p.m.

A matinee is also available Sunday June 2, at 2:30 p.m.
