| Hank Williams: Lost Highway | 8:00 PM | 2 hour(s) | The Circuit Playhouse, 1705 Poplar Hanks Williams: Lost Highway is the moving musical biography of the legendary singer-songwriter frequently mentioned alongside Louis Armstrong, Robert Johnson, Duke Ellington, Elvis, and Bob Dylan as one of the great innovators of American popular music. The play follows Williams' rise from his beginnings on the Louisiana Hayride to his triumphs on the Grand Ole Opry to his eventual self-destruction at twenty-nine. Along the way, we are treated to indelible songs like "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," "Move It on Over," and "Hey, Good Lookin" which are given fresh and profound resonance set in the context of Williams' life.

| Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 | 8:00 PM | 2 hour(s) | Playhouse on the Square, 51 South Cooper Street Secret passageways, Nazi saboteurs, and dead bodies combine to create a blizzard of mayhem in this sidesplitting comedy. Poking antic fun at the more ridiculous aspects of "show biz" and the corny thrillers of Hollywood's heyday, the play is a non-stop barrage of laughter as those assembled (or at least those who aren't killed off) untangle the mystery of the Stage Door Slasher. New York Magazine hails Murders as "the intelligent person's kind of nonsense." For tickets, call (901) 726-4656. |
