Calendar of Events

November 14-17, 2013
Haslam Family Flexible Theatre
"Shakespeare for my Father" by Lynn Redgrave
An APO Maryville College Production and Thesis Project for Caitlin Campbell

Written by actress Lynn Redgrave
The renowned actress's first foray into playwriting as family reminiscences developed into a complex, funny and moving portrait of a child's longing for the love of the inscrutable, daunting and charismatic Shakespearean actor who was her father. Acclaimed in America and Great Britain, Shakespeare for My Father weaves scenes from the Bard that delightfully coalesce with events in Ms. Redgrave's young life, eliciting memories of Sir Michael and engaging impressions of the celebrated stars who frequented the Redgrave's home and lives.

Tickets for adults are $10, seniors and non-MC students are $7
Free to MC students, faculty and staff. Tickets are required for admission.

Whether performing with a full symphonic orchestra, in front of a big band, or playing self-contained, their unmistakable sound continues to thrill audiences all over the world.

The Smoky Mountain Blues Society is presenting the 4th Annual Sara Jordan Birthday Party at the Well, 4620 Kingston Pike Knoxville. Net proceeds from this Annual concert benefit the Interfaith Health Clinic located at 315 Gill Avenue in Knoxville per Sara Jordan's wishes. Sara was a fabulous singer whose time came way too early. Sara Jordan passed away in 2001. She is still remembered locally and fondly as Knoxville's very own Queen of the Blues. She was a premier performer in the local blues community, singing in front of a few bands over approximately a decade including the Sara Jordan Project, and Sara Jordan and the Leftovers. Sara Jordan and the Leftovers played every Thursday night at Sassy Ann's (then known as Knoxville's House of the Blues) for what seemed like years.

The 2013 line up of bands is still being finalized but currently some great local talent lined up including:
Jenna & Her Cool Friends, Big Gene & Danny Lee's Loud Pack, The Royal Hounds, Left Foot Dave & the Magic Hats,
Mighty Blue, Juke Joint Drifters, Alien Love Charm, Missing Pieces

Admission is $5 for Blues Society Members, $8 for non-members for 6+ hours worth of music. Past Sara Jordan Birthday Bashes have all been great evenings. This one promises to be great as well.

Nan has decided to teach her abusive husband Kyle a lesson. With the help of her friend Simon (acting as her emotional -- and actual -- cheerleader) and a stripper named Sweetheart, she tapes Kyle to a chair and forces him to watch as they reenacts scenes from their painful past. In the piece de resistance, they plan to cover the room in meat and honey so Kyle will be mauled by a bear. Through this night of emotional trials and ridiculous theatrics, Nan and Kyle are both freed from their past in this smart, dark revenge comedy.

Performances at Broadway Academy of Performing Arts.

Knoxville Bar Association
LawTalk Program
Free Public Education
Questions about the law?
We've got answers.

Many Tennesseans think they've already made their plans known, but they don't know that because of recent changes in the law, their old living wills may not be adequate. Many more Tennesseans haven't even planned ahead with any living will, or as it is known now, 'advance directive.' Knoxvillians have an opportunity to learn about these changes, and to learn how to make their wishes known, at the Knoxville Bar Association's LawTalk series. The LawTalk series are free educational programs which offer the community an opportunity to learn more about planning for their own security and that of their family and loved ones. The purpose of this series is not only to educate people but to emphasize how very important it is to plan ahead.

The law affects many aspects of people's lives and the purpose of the 17th Annual LawTalk series is to make general legal information more accessible to the community. In an effort to keep the program current and to maximize its practical value to the public, both sessions of the LawTalk program will be held on the following dates: Friday, November 15, 2013 at O'Connor Senior Center (611 Winona Street) and Saturday, November 16, 2013 at Fellowship Church (8000 Middlebrook Pike). Free parking is available at both locations and handout material will be provided. The "Wills & Estate Planning for Everyone" will be held from 9:00 - 10:45 a.m. and the "Legal Protection for the Elderly, the Disabled & their Caregivers" will be held from 11:00 a.m. - 12:45 p.m. At each location, local lawyers will present information and answer questions from the audience.

Pre-registration is not required but appreciated. Register by calling the Knoxville Bar Association at (865) 522-6522 or online at www.knoxbar.org.
