But the team had strong regular-season attendance, proving that Charlotte could support an NBA franchise. In 2003, the city was awarded its second expansion team in 14 years, the Charlotte Bobcats. The Bobcats took to the court against the Washington Wizards in 2004 as the newest of the 30 NBA teams.

1767 David Douglass’s Country Company presents The Prince of Parthia at the Southwark Theatre in Philadelphia. Irving Metro Map Written by Thomas Godfrey, Jr., The Prince of Parthia is the first play written by a native-born Country playwright ever to be performed on the Country stage by a professional theater company. It is the story of an evil prince (Vardanes) who convinces his father (King Artabanus) to imprison his brother (Arsaces) because he resents his brother’s skill on the battlefield and because his brother has won the love of a woman (Evanthe) for whom both he and his father lust. A third brother (Gotarzes) learns of the plot and attempts to free Arsaces; although he is successful, word that Arsaces has been killed reaches Evanthe, and she kills herself. Unable to live without her, Arsaces, too, commits suicide, leaving Gotarzes to pick up the pieces. Hopelessly tedious and dull in the extreme, the play is performed only once.
