The Evening of Dance will be May 18, 19 and 20 at Clarence Brown Theatre on the UT campus.

Five performances will be given – one (1) on Thursday night at 6:45, two (2) on Friday at 6:45pm and 8:45pm and two (2) on Saturday at 6:45pm and 8:45 pm. Tickets are $20.00 for adults, $10.00 for students and can be purchased at the Studio about three (3) weeks before the performance.

We will be selling beautiful flowers to give to your dancer. The money from the flowers is used to provide scholarships for children who might not otherwise be able to afford dance lessons. You will find order forms for the flowers in the conference room. Please consider ordering your flowers from us rather than Kroger or other places, as it is for a very good cause.

We recommend you bring a chair to sit in while waiting in line before the show. The lines are usually long, and you will be more comfortable if you must wait in line for an extended time. You must leave your chair outside the theatre, but please remember to take it home!

Thursday, May 18 at 6:00 p.m. on Zoom

Thursday, May 18, is our free monthly Zoom. This month, we’re looking at Knoxville’s most famous neighborhood, Fort Sanders, which is the subject of our upcoming online walking tour. One of Knoxville’s most creative and storied neighborhoods, Fort Sanders became famous for a bloody 20-minute battle in 1863, but is now more often in the news for a decades-long battle to preserve its heritage from educational, medical, and commercial encroachments. Believe it or not, there’s still some valuable and visible history there, regarding its remarkable role as a breeder of literary, musical, and artistic talent. Offering vivid insights we never had before is the newly published memoir, Of Time and Knoxville, by Anne Armstrong—who called Fort Sanders home long before James Agee did. We’ll touch on all that, with slides.
