A Christmas Story

Light your leg lamps and grab your pink bunny pajamas because A Christmas Story makes its triumphant return to the Rep stage December 2 – December 19. The time: 1940. The place: Hohman, Indiana. A bespectacled boy named Ralphie has an active imagination and one wish for Christmas–a Red Ryder BB Gun. Constant reprimands of “You’ll shoot your eye out,” a grouchy department store Santa, and a triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the obstacles that stand between Ralphie and his Christmas dream. Named “Best Family Holiday Tradition” by the Nashville Scene, A Christmas Story excites the holiday spirit with sparkling wit, a heart of gold and some much-needed nostalgia.

Part of the Celebration of Dance Series
December 3 – 8 PM
December 4 – 2 PM and 8 PM

Hailing from Minneapolis, MN, Rhythmic Circus is an internationally renowned, 12-member live music and tap dance ensemble. Experiencing one of their adrenaline-soaked dance performances feels like witnessing the rebirth of an art form, one that forged all kinds of stylistic hybrids, but is something else entirely.
Their name, Rhythmic Circus, might seem strange for a quartet of hoofers and a live band, but actually, their magnetic, high-energy shows are all about juggling a combination of dancing, humor and music – all wrapped within a bundle of positive messages. It seems to be a rare occurrence where family can enjoy an evening together, with children of all ages laughing and stomping their feet alongside each other. Rhythmic Circus provides that atmosphere and entertainment.
Notable national performances include the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., an extended off-Broadway run at New York City’s premier nonprofit performing arts theater – New Victory Theater, and an appearance on the American reality television series America’s Got Talent.
Feet Don’t Fail Me Now!
FEET DON’T FAIL ME NOW! premiered in August 2008 at the Ritz Theatre in Minneapolis, Minnesota, when the group’s dancers and founders joined forces with the seven Twin Cities’ heavyweight musicians. Together, they integrated an inventive style of rapid-fire tap with a variety of musical genres to create a show that presents a wildly creative view into the indomitable power of the human spirit. The show’s brilliance has been marked by rave reviews, sold-out engagements and numerous awards, including two SAGE Awards for Outstanding Ensemble and Performance, a Spirit of the Fringe Award (Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s top theatrical award), two Upper Midwest Emmy’s and being named “Best Dance Performance” by Minneapolis’ City Pages.

Franklin Theatre Live: Christmas with Patrick Thomas
2021-12-06 19:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
Live Performance:
Music

A multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and powerful vocalist, Patrick Thomas has spent 20 years crafting a sound that can only be described as uniquely his own. From a musical family, Patrick grew up wowing audiences with his ability to instantly play a song on the piano after just one listen.
While attending Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Thomas was selected to perform on the inaugural season of NBC’s The Voice. Making it all the way to the live semi-finals, his Nashville career began to take off. He quickly signed a publishing and artist development deal with Grammy Award-winning songwriter, Brett James, penning over 200 songs in his first year. Exploring a variety of styles from musical theatre, (he composed a musical entitled The Battle of Franklin that would break box office records for the premiering theatre), to pop, R&B, and country, he eventually began work on a debut album with another Grammy Award winner, producer Mark Bright. In 2017 his self-titled debut EP was released. Meanwhile, Thomas was busy touring the country with Broadway vocalist Rachel Potter, co-starring in Country Legends, a concert-style musical revue of country music through the ages designed specifically for symphony orchestras. The show toured for over five years, appearing with orchestras from Alaska to Hawaii and everywhere in between.
Thomas, often recognized for his ability to adapt and improvise regardless of genre, returned to the national spotlight when Nashville hosted the 2019 NFL Draft. As each player was selected, he wrote and performed thirty-second “jingles”, live for CBS, each tailored to the specific athlete and team.
He is currently working on a new ‘Sinatra meets Singer/Songwriter’ project scheduled for release within the next year. He is also preparing to perform as Paul Simon in the US/Canada tour of “The Simon and Garfunkel Story.” For booking information and links to music and social media please visit www.PatrickThomasMusic.com

About the Mockingbird Theater

In 2014 Kimbro retired, handing over the reins to Jordan. Kimbro’s won second place behind The Ryman Auditorium for “Best Live Music Venue” in one of The Tennessean‘s reader’s polls and second place behind The Bluebird for “Best Open Mic” in The Nashville Scene‘s reader’s poll.
The Mockingbird Theater offers a full bar — serving beer, wine, spirits, and food — as well as special events and productions, with an emphasis on live music. The space hosts bands of all genres on a regular basis.

Franklin Theatre Live: David Nail
2021-12-09 20:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
Live Performance: Music
This show has been rescheduled to December 9, 2021 at 8:00 PM. All previously purchased tickets will be honored.
Hailing from Kennett, Missouri, David Nail is well-respected up and down Music Row. Some might even call him a “tour de force” as his songs pull no punches in evoking the demons with which he has wrestled through much of his life. His early releases, I’m About To Come Alive, The Sound Of A Million Dreams, I’m A Fire and Fighter, ignited his reputation as an innovator and creative risk-taker yet left Nail feeling restless. This led to the departure of the the only record company home he’d ever known, MCA Nashville, where he’d formed friendships that endure even now. Through dealing with his own bout of mental illness and the feeling of needing to “rebel against what people expect you to be,” Nail began making his most “organic” work to date, David Nail & The Well Ravens, with Jason Hall and Andrew Petroff. That project liberated Nail and propelled him into his next adventure. Writing solo for the next few months led to his current EP Oh, Mother, a reflective piece of work. Of the title track, Rolling Stone noted that “the song creeps in like a sunrise — quiet, restrained cello and keys are the only underpinning for Nail’s powerful vocals at first. But then it slowly builds to something more massive and majestic.” In Nail’s own words, “My philosophy has always been, I just hope to have a good enough year that I can have a next year while staying as true to myself as I possibly can.” Find more at www.davidnail.com.

Emily West brings her lovingly-curated, one of a kind Christmas Magic, filled with her own seasonal compositions, songs from her new record Dear Diary, and all the classics sung only the way Miss West can to the Franklin Theatre on Friday Dec. 10th.

For the uninitiated, Emily West is the high priestess of musical magic in Nashville’s never ending rainbow of talent. Millions know her from duets with Keith Urban, Cyndi Lauper and heart stopping performances on America’s Got Talent, but locally she is the songwriter’s favorite singer, the singer’s favorite writer, and everyone’s favorite friend. While she has sung on most stages and tv’s in the world, she hasn’t made a record in the last 5 years and never one this personal. She opened up her journals to Leroy Powell & Tim Jones (collectively known as Whiskey Wolves of the West), and constructed mini-broadway musicals. The first single from her new record, Dear Diary, is coming soon. Stay tuned to @emilywestofficial
