Evening of excellence: Richelle Claiborne wears many hats. Not only is she an actress, playwright, and published poet, she can also belt it out to the heavens. She charts new territory with her original music and spoken-word poetry, while also drawing upon a diverse array of genres, ranging from gospel to metal. Check it all out at this week’s Fridays After Five, where the opening band is the groovy duo Mojo Pie.
Friday 7/30, Free, 5:30pm. Ting Pavilion, Downtown Mall. tingpavilion.com.

It costs $26,245 a week—$2.23 weekly per copy, or roughly $9.50 monthly per copy—to produce C-VILLE Weekly, including writers, designers, printing, and overhead. We suggest a recurring gift of $10 per month to help cover production costs, but any amount adds up to revenue we can count on. Click to give.
