Theater 23: Three Viewings
Category: Theatre
A funeral parlor in a small Midwestern town is the setting for these three darkly funny and touching short plays. In Tell Tale, we enter the private thoughts of a respectable married mortician, lost in passion for a beautiful real estate broker who markets to the bereaved. In Thief of Tears, we meet Mac, the attractive daughter of an upper-class WASP family who frequents the Viper Room and steals jewelry from corpses. And in Thirteen Things about Ed Carpolotti, a newly widowed suburban matron finds her world crashing about her only to be rescued by love from beyond the grave.
The play is being produced by Theater 23 (https://theater23.org), and will run Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Jan 30th, 31st, and Feb. 1st at 7:30 PM, and on Sunday, Feb. 2nd at 2:30 PM at the Old City Performing Arts Center at 111 State Street, Knoxville, TN 37902
Tickets are available for the play at https://theater23.org/tickets. For more information contact info@theater23.org or 865-257-9493.
Knoxville Children's Theatre: James and the Giant Peach
Category: Kids, family, Literature, spoken word, writing and Theatre
James Henry Trotter lives with his cruel aunts Spiker and Sponge until one day the barren, old peach tree in their yard produces a single peach that grows to nearly the size of a house. When James takes a closer look at the enormous fruit, he discovers a tunnel that leads him to the peach pit where he meets a rag-tag band of human-sized, talking invertebrates: an old green grasshopper, a centipede, an earthworm, a spider, a ladybird, a glowworm, and a silkworm. These bugs become James’ companions on an adventure that will take them over land and sea! And as they travel James learns important lessons about courage, friendship. and seagulls.
