Community Cue: Conversations Inspired by the Stage
This series of free events, open to the general public, welcomes the community to explore a theme or topic inspired by an upcoming show. Community Cues elicit impactful conversation from attendees around these themes, with moderated events featuring local experts, teaching artists or members of the featured production's cast, crew or creative team. Community Cues take place at community sites around the Charlotte region, as well as at Blumenthal Arts venues.

Past Offerings
DRACULA
We were joined by Blumenthal CEO, Tom Gabbard, and the Producers of the show to talk about how this show was brought to life on the Blumenthal stage.
The Notebook
We had a wonderful Community Cue for The Notebook at The Pearl -- Charlotte's Innovation District. Not only were we joined in conversation with cast member, Shari Washington Rhone (swing), we also learned about research and developments in memory care from Dr. Mia Yang, Geriatrician and Cognitive Chair with Atrium Health Neuroscience, Charlotte. What an awesome marriage of art and science!
SUFFS
We had an awesome conversation with Victoria Pekel (Phyllis Terrel/Robin), Stacy Taylor (Production Stage Manager), and Joyce Zheng (Ruza). All three women shared details of their paths to Broadway. Making the conversation extra special was meeting these incredible women all in very different points in their Broadway careers during Women's History Month
