Looking for a meaningful new year's resolution? Experience more culture.

The new year is a time when we all try to improve ourselves, our choices and the world around us. It's a refresh, a reset, a re-evaluation of the things that matter.

And so we hope you might consider a resolution this year to be a part of our audience and to experience the magic of live entertainment and feature films. 

Just in the first few months of 2026, we have the Charlotte premiere of "The Changebaker," a documentary short about the man behind Manolo's bakery; an Elvis tribute act to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Elvis Presley performing at the Carolina Theatre; a heart-pounding drum show to start Lunar New Year and so much more.

May your 2026 be peaceful, filled with love ones and include culturally enriching shows at the Carolina Theatre.
