The 10th annual fall show of Terra Madre: Women in Clay begins on Friday with an opening reception from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The full sale will be on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Parking is plentiful at the church, but carpooling with a fellow ceramic art enthusiast is always a good idea.

This is Terra Madre’s most popular show, growing each year, with many shopping for the upcoming holiday season. With over 30 different clay artists, this show will feature functional as well as art pieces, at a wide variety of price points.
“We are very excited about this year’s show at St. George’s,” says Terra Madre President Elaine Barnes. “We are so pleased to have several new members showing their unique styles of ceramic art, alongside the ever-evolving artwork of many of our founding members, from Judy Brater’s animal-inspired and colorful sculptural works, to Jackie Mirzadeh’s modern, pattern-based texture work. The diversity of the creativity among this group is truly astounding, and it inspires me every day.”

Terra Madre: Women in Clay is a juried group of women clay artists that was founded in 2000 by female ceramic artists from East Tennessee. Their primary mission is to support each other in their clay work, to advance the appreciation of ceramics in East Tennessee, and to encourage excellence in clay artistry and craftsmanship through mentoring and educational activities. Terra Madre members are affiliated with many juried and professional arts organizations, including the Foothills Craft Guild, the Southern Highland Craft Guild and the Arts & Culture Alliance. Collectively, the group exhibits in 2-3 shows annually and individually their work has been exhibited all over the country and can be found in galleries, shops, juried fine craft shows, as well as in many private art collections.

Does Momentum Dance Lab Showcase The Finest Modern Dance in Knoxville? Many would answer in the affirmative! These women have been honing their skills as dancers and choreographers since they were some of the finest child dancers in town many years ago. Rather than leave East TN to seek fame and fortune elsewhere, they decided to stay home and make a statement that excellence, in all of the arts, belongs in Knoxville. These dancers, living as teachers, graduate students, professionals, and mothers, have not abandoned their passion for their art in spite of their otherwise extraordinarily busy days, and their dedication to excellence is on display in every aspect of their upcoming show. It is the love of their craft that drives them to maintain a rigorous training, teaching, and rehearsal schedule, despite their already bustling lives.

You can see them perform at the Square Room, 4 Market Square, on Thursday, November 21 at 7PM, or Saturday November 23 at 2PM or 8PM. They will present some of their most celebrated repertoire, as well as new choreography, some featuring live music and live voices. There will be an open bar and a silent auction featuring goods, gifts, services, and art pieces from our community supporters of the arts.

General Admission $15, Students & Seniors $12, Penny4Arts (15 and under 1¢ with paid adult). Buy advance tickets save, $2 at www.momentumdancelab.org

SCROOGE IN ROUGE by Graham, Roberson, Hargis and Turner

WHAT THE DICKENS? A Christmas Carol like you’ve never seen before! Scrooge in Rouge is definitely not your average treacly holiday show...think more like Monty Python meets Benny Hill. This quick-change, cross-dressing version of the Charles Dickens classic is set in a Victorian music hall. The Royal Music Hall Twenty-Member Variety Players are beset with a widespread case of food poisoning. This leaves only three surviving members to soldier on through a performance of A Christmas Carol. The undaunted trio gamely face missed cues, ill-fitting costumes, and solving the problem of having no one to play Tiny Tim. Done in the style of British Music Hall, Scrooge in Rouge abounds in bad puns, witty songs, bawdy malapropisms, and naughty double-entendres. A raucous holiday treat! The show is directed by Flying Anvil artistic director Jayne Morgan, with musical direction by Paul Jones. Rounding out the cast are Jessica Magers-Rankin, Jacques DuRand, and Andrew Carlile.

Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 pm; Sundays at 2 pm.
One Pay-What-You-Can preview on Wednesday, November 20 at 7:30 pm.

TICKET PRICES: Thu & Sun $22 (or $10 for students with ID); Fri & Sat $24 (or $10 for students with ID). The Opening Night Gala on November 22 is $32 (or $20 for students with ID). Tickets: https://www.ticketpeak.com/res/FlyingAnvil

This Holiday Season, the Great Smoky Mountain Heritage Center is proud to announce the return of the Smoky Junction Model Train Exhibit. Running through the season, the exhibit is sure to be a delightful experience, because nothing says holiday enchantment quite like seeing little faces look on in wonderment as model trains zip by. With three different displays and including a bit of history from the Townsend/ Walland area, this exhibit will showcase different styles and scales of model trains and is sure to be a joy to the whole family, as well as train enthusiasts.

This exhibit, in operation on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at the Heritage Center, brings back the fond memories of the holiday trains of our childhoods. “The Maryville Model Railroad Club has been instrumental in helping us design and creating these displays. We hope that this experience becomes an annual holiday tradition for the families in our community and for folks of all ages.” says Logan Hull, Director of Special Events at the Heritage Center. “We hope that we can create memories that will last a lifetime for families and promote this unique hobby, all while sharing the great history of this region. This is the perfect way for the Heritage Center to promote the history of our region in a fun and engaging way, while giving our guests an experience like none other!”

A special “Boarding Pass” will be included in the admission price to the Great Smoky Mountain Heritage Center ($8 for adults, $6 for Children & Seniors) on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, from November 8th through January 5th. It can also be purchased separately for only $4 for ages 6 and up. This experience is free to the members of the Heritage Center. Each day the trains are running, a knowledgeable member of the MMRC will be onsite to answer any questions and to show how they run the trains.

Tennessee Stage Company presents its 30th anniversary Timeless Works Series special

When Elwood P. Dowd starts to introduce his imaginary friend, Harvey, a six-and-a-half-foot rabbit, to guests at a society party, his sister, Veta, has seen as much of his eccentric behavior as she can tolerate. She decides to have him committed to a sanitarium to spare her daughter, Myrtle Mae, and their family from future embarrassment. Problems arise, however, when Veta herself is mistakenly assumed to be on the verge of lunacy when she explains to doctors that years of living with Elwood’s hallucination have caused her to see Harvey also! The doctors commit Veta instead of Elwood, but when the truth comes out, the search is on for Elwood and his invisible companion. When he shows up at the sanitarium looking for is lost friend Harvey, it seems that the mild-mannered Elwood’s delusion has had a strange influence on more than one of the doctors. Only at the end does Veta realize that maybe Harvey isn’t so bad after all.

Come see this classic comedy at the Broadway Academy of Performing Arts, 706 N Broadway. Performances are Friday and Saturday at 8 PM and Sunday at 2 PM. For advanced tickets, call (865) 546-4280 or visit www.TennesseeStage.com.
