Storyteller Laura Still helps you live the stories of pioneers, soldiers, outlaws, and even fictional characters who walked these streets before you.

Knoxville has a rich history full of colorful characters and famous, and infamous, figures whose lives have been the inspiration for books, movies, and works of art. Take a stroll through history in beautiful downtown Knoxville while listening to true tales of the heroes, heels, and hardened criminals that are part of the hidden lore of this unique East Tennessee town.

A portion of the proceeds for downtown tours go to help fund the work of the non-profit Knoxville History Project. Many stories are based on the books and stories of award-winning journalist and writer Jack Neely. Knoxville Walking Tours opens a window to Knoxville’s varied past and leads you on a journey through both hard times and high times of a city growing through over two centuries of history.

• Knoxville: The Early Years

GO! Contemporary Dance Works presents the return of its wildly popular ballet, ALICE in Wonderland on February 22 & 23 at the historic Bijou Theatre, 803 S. Gay Street. A Knoxville fan-favorite, ALICE: A Revolutionary Ballet is hailed as one of GO! Contemporary Dance Works’ most beloved works, narrating the world of Wonderland with eye-popping visuals, gravity-defying aerials, and stunning set design. Lisa Hall McKee’s spectacular production reimagines this classic story in a whimsical style set to famous scores by George Bizet, Leo Delibes, and others. ALICE will pull its audience down the rabbit hole to meet instantly recognizable characters like the nervous white rabbit, a spinning Mad Hatter, and a terrifying Queen of Hearts.

This large-scale production includes a cast of over 70 talented dancers with work from six choreographers, featuring professionals and a lead guest artist from New York City.

This revolutionary ballet integrates vibrant costuming, elaborate scenery, and animated
projection to bring the colorful wonderland to life on the Bijou Theatre stage.

This will be GO!’s 21st season performance with showtimes on Saturday, February 22nd at 2:00 and 7:30 PM and Sunday, February 23rd at 2:00 PM and may be purchased at gocontemporarydance.com via Ticketmaster.
