Parents, actors and patrons of the arts need to check out the new space for ENCORE Theatrical…read moreCompany! Whether you want to come see a show, work on set or brave the stage ENCORE will prove to be a resource for you and your family. This company produces shows for children and adults alike. I've seen the first two productions of their current season. Speaking of season, as it starts to warm up couples around the Morristown area will be looking for something new to do and an outing to the theater makes a great date night. SEASON TICKETS are a great gift idea! Recently I helped backstage with the production for End of the Rainbow, a musical by Peter Quilter, which tells the humorous, touching story of the fabulous Judy Garland. While unveiling incite to the elusive abuse endured by this iconic legend of the silver screen and her unfortunate passing, this show will make you laugh and give you pause. The set was great. Lighting was spot on and under the direction of Interim Executive Director Dr. Dennis Elks, the cast of local actors kept our eyes glued to the stage. Tennessee is the Volunteer State and over this past month it has been an honor to volunteer for Encore Theatrical. It feels good to work alongside other creative, passionate individuals all focused on helping not only our youth but new and seasoned artists alike have a space in which to grow. People can offer their help to assist with costumes, set construction, painting, organization, marketing, community outreach and so much more (all while exercising an old skill set or developing a new one)! Theatre will always have a place in the world as its roots are grounded in storytelling and empathy which connects all types of characters across all walks of life and sometimes you see a performance worthy of an ENCORE.

I was really cool you could just go up and take a picture with one of your favorite wrestlers whole waiting for the match to start. Wrestlers are kind and very passionate about their jobs. It feels like watching some of your friends wrestling rather than rather than a huge celebrity. They are very crowd inclusive and are always down to talk to someone before a match. If you're in the area you HAVE to go. (One more thing little ozzy is freaking amazing , not just at his impersonating or commentating but just in general just spending a minute with him will make him one of your favorite members of the MWF)

At the end, you're going to find yourself wandering through the gift shop, and I'm not going to encourage you or discourage you either way, but it's a great place to meander while you're partner or spouse are in the bathroom.

All I can think of is how uncomfortable this is and the concert hasn't begun. Think about guests comfort and not just how much $$ you can squeeze out of the place. Disappointing

FUNNY IMO the old prudes in front of us left half way through the showing because they thought it was too risqué. God forbid two women kiss for a second- adding in details of LGBTQ+ had a plot reason in the end if they would have stayed for it. Looks like they found their way to the reviews here too unfortunately. Personally, I wouldn't take it with a grain of salt This got me interested in the lore behind Lizzie (had no clue about her previously). Would return again If you do some research many of the rumors surrounding Lizzie ranged from incest, gay lovers, and other things too which help make her an outcast along with the murder of her parents back in her days.
