The Big List

Raleigh Little Theatre's teen troupe stages a madcap Clue adaptation -- mystery, sharp comedy, and a full cast of eccentric dinner-party suspects.

A loud, nostalgic set of nu-metal and metalcore anthems from Linkin Park to Slipknot turns Chapel of Bones into a Warped Tour-era singalong.

Theatre Raleigh's monthly open mic in the Green Room, across from the main building -- singers, comedians, poets, whoever wants the mic, free to just watch too.

West Raleigh's default after-work walk — a wooded three-mile loop with a boardwalk over the water, plus kayak and paddleboard rentals by the waterfront center in warm months.

Sixty beds of roses behind Raleigh Little Theatre with a WPA-built amphitheater sunk in the middle, free and open dawn to dusk. Blooms run May to the first hard freeze — bring takeout and claim a bench.
