Little Morals present The Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Belcourt
10/30 - 10/31
Join Nashville's own RHPS shadow players for this Halloween clasic!
Frankenstein at the Renaissance Center in Dickson
10/30 & 10/31
Remember the good old days of radio, when the mind was a stage? Those days are back with the added bonus of seeing the action as well. Mary Shelley's timeless classic, which is brought to life in this nostalgic radio play, conjures images of Captain Robert Walton on an ice-trapped ship en route to the North Pole. While waiting for the ice to break, they rescue a man on an ice floe near death. After regaining consciousness the story of Victor Frankenstein begins.
Little House on the Prairie- the Musical at TPAC
10/29 - 11/1
Little House on the Prairie has remained one of the most popular and beloved celebrations of early Americana since the appearance of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s popular classic book series 70 years ago. Now the inspirational stories take on a brand new frontier in an uplifting new musical. Melissa Gilbert, who played Laura for 10 years on TV, continues her legacy as Ma. Families will continue to fall in love with these life affirming stories about the Ingalls’ struggles and triumphs through the celebration of the pioneering spirit and the core values on which this country was founded - a spirit that resonates within each of us today.
Clue The Musical at the Boiler Room
10/22 - 10/25
Based on the popular board game, this rousing, fun-filled musical brings the world's best-known mystery suspects to life on the stage, and invites the audience to play along to solve a mystery. CLUE The Musical is an international theatrical sensation, thrilling both audiences and media alike. Come meet Colonel Mustard, Mrs. Peacock, Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mr. Boddy and the rest as they sing, dance and joke their way into your heart or into suspicion, as you guess which one of the 216 possible endings - different every performance - is the answer to: whodunit, in what room, with what weapon.
Hansel and Gretel at the Belcourt
10/31
Olde Worlde Theatre presents a not-so-grim fairy tale, retelling the adventure of Hansel and Gretel Schnitzel. It's a timeless classic of hunger and hope, cruelty and courage, life and love. When the family unexpectedly falls to hard times, Hansel and Gretel's journey begins. Our heroes then learn how to be resourceful, cooperative, and grateful for what they have. Please come and enjoy mime, movement, colorful characters, special effects, and dynamic music, as Olde Worlde unfolds an interactive extravaganza for all ages. Everyone is invited to dress in costume for all performances!
Noises Off at the Looby Theatre
10/29 - 11/1
This terrific show takes a fond look at the follies of theatre folk, whose susceptibility to out-of-control egos, memory loss and passionate affairs turn every performance into a high-risk adventure. This comedy-within-a-comedy captures a touring troupe’s production of Nothing On in three stages: dress rehearsal, the opening performance, and a performance toward the end of the run. Each performance is portrayed from behind the scenes, brimming with slapstick comedy. Directed by Patrick Kramer, the Circle Players production of Noises Off is sure to leave you laughing in the aisles.
