James Gregory
2017-02-10 20:00 | TN
James Gregory at The Franklin Theatre
The veteran comedian continues to entertain sell out crowds with his down-home, hilarious comedy experience. Much of his humor is centered on brilliant observations of crazy relatives and people obsessed with the slightest change in weather conditions – now referred to as global warming. He delights in poking fun at modern sensitive parents and out-of-control environmentalists.
The James Gregory show turns the clock back to a time when life was simpler; to a better time, before the death of common sense; a time when people sat on the front porch and actually talked to each other without a cell phone in their ear. Gregory’s success, like his comedy, is the direct result of the values he grew up with.

Studio Tenn – The Elephant Man By Bernard Pomerance
Jamison Theater in The Factory at Franklin – February 16 – 26, 2017
This Tony Award-winning drama is based on the true life of Joseph (“John”) Merrick, a medical mystery of Victorian England who toured Europe as a freak show attraction. His shocking disfigurement afforded him little social contact, apart from the gawking of onlookers indulging their own morbid curiosity. When an esteemed doctor takes Merrick into his care, he begins to see past the Elephant Man’s unsightliness, discovering a remarkable intellect, heart and hunger for human connection. The role of Merrick calls for his malformation to be conveyed through the actor’s physicality, without the aid of makeup or prosthetics—a poignant allusion to what lies below the surface.

The Second Story
2017-02-17 20:00 | TN
The Second Story – The Franklin Theatre

Special Writers Night featuring Matraca Berg, Marshall Chapman, Emily Saliers & Minton Sparks.

The Second Story is not a musical group or the name of a new band, but the title of a special evening of songwriter performances and their words and music paired and potentially reimagined in a unique way through the words of an author, poet or playwright. Like many songwriter presentations, our “first story” will be the traditional round of performances and stories behind the songs. Our “second story” is a new concept that will interlace the talents of those songwriters with someone from a seemingly totally different realm of creativity.
See website for more information on this event.
