During the Renaissance, the word wit signified intelligence or wisdom. “Wit” is the title of a drama written by Margaret Edson, currently in production by the Davidson Community Players and in every sense of the word, wit is the result of their achievement. Davidson’s production certainly rivals the Broadway Tony Award-nominated play with Cynthia Nixon, even the made-for-television award-winning version starring Emma Thompson.

The curtain goes up on two theatrical productions on area stages this weekend: Davidson Community Players’ production of the drama “Wit” and Hough High School’s “Honk,” a musical tale of the ugly duckling.

There’s also wide variety of live music in the next few days at venues ranging from Summit Coffee and Davidson College in Davidson to The Wine Cellar and the Rusty Rudder in Cornelius.
