 JULY 20
at Badgett Playhouse
Grand Rivers, KY.
An innocent(?) audience member is poisoned and three others have close calls. All have one thing in common - a name. Ann White. But, outside of that, they have very LITTLE in common. One is a waitress at a diner, one is a kindergarten teacher, and the other is a dancer. The detective who takes command of the investigation must decide which of the three is the real intended victim. . .and which one is the murderer. Audience members are called upon to "testify" about things they learned about the victim, before her untimely demise.
This Thursday at
7 PM
Tickets only $34.99 for dinner and show!

Seven Songs for a Long Life at Maiden Alley
Paducah, KY
This film is being shown at the Carson-Myre Heart Center Auditorium located in Baptist Health Paducah (2501 Kentucky Ave.).
Admission is FREE.
Hospice care is rarely associated with singing and laughter, but at Strathcarron it's different. At this remarkable Scottish hospice center, patients face pain, uncertainty and the possibility of life's end with song and humor. Four years in the making, Seven Songs for a Long Life includes a hit parade of tunes belted out by patients and caregivers alike between reflections on life, love and mortality. Sinatra and R.E.M. have never been sung with more heart. The film illuminates a journey we will all take eventually, and shows how the songs we love best can help guide us. Official Selection of the 2016 SXSW Film Festival
