Christmas Day approaches and uncertainty reigns in the beautiful town of Paradise. As the newest owners of a thrift store, Matthew and Mary are facing seemingly insurmountable challenges, including a parent with dementia, a sister with control issues, and some very nosy and noisy neighbors - all of which makes for a few “unforgettable” situations amidst the most wonderful time of the year. Come laugh and cry and wonder why in this hilarious and inspirational 90-minutes of music and magic. Christmas in Paradise, written by America’s most prolific writer of performed musicals, Wally Nason, will be playing this holiday season in Middle Tennessee in partnership with the TENNESSEE ALZHEIMER’S ASSOCIATION.

The National Anthem is a new one-man musical comedy about the fascinating American who wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner.” Francis Scott Key's unwavering and sometimes unorthodox opinions on social matters as well as his unique and often unappreciated relationship with poetry is showcased in this 90-minute mix of lyrics and laughs. You’ll snicker in your knickers and cackle in your cloak as you discover more about the man whose name we all know…
but whose history is a mystery.
