When you're broke, alone, and still drinking early in the morning, you need the sort of spirit-lifting musical advice delivered by these five witty, with it apparitions. The five Moe's will cajole, wheedle, comfort and jazz you with the wild, whimsical, wonderful hit songs of Louis Jordan, one of the most beloved songwriting talents of the twentieth century. This rowdy and outrageous musical will rock the rafters of the historic Opryhouse with some of the liveliest, loveliest, swinging-est songs of the 1930's.

Lettice and Lovage

Friday & Saturday, 7:30pm
Sunday, October 3, 2pm

This funny and charming hit play by the author of Equus and Amadeus follows the relationship between a fired museum guide with an unfortunate flair for the flamboyantly dramatic, and a proper and precise inspector. Elizabethan cuisine, medieval weaponry, and wildly re-written history figure into this hilarious comic gem.

"An evening of enchantment and delight." -New York Post

A darkly comic look at how a couple’s marriage is tested by caring for a helpless child with cerebral palsy. The couple uses fantasy and humor to help them cope. But the husband hides his pain behind sarcasm and irony while their friends offer unsatisfactory expressions of sympathy and prejudice. This funny, disquieting, and extraordinarily thought-provoking piece received the 1968 Tony Award for Best New Play.

One night in a British theatre, feuding theatre critics Moon and Birdboot are swept into the whodunit they are viewing. In this hilarious spoof of Agatha Christie like melodramas, mists rise about isolated Muldoon Manor, and the baffled critics become dangerously implicated in the lethal activities of an escaped madman.

"Really funny comic gem." - Daily Mail.

A Few Good Men

Friday & Saturday, 7:30pm
Sunday, 2pm

Aaron Sorkin's Broadway hit about the trial of two Marines for complicity in the death of a fellow Marine at Guantanamo Bay sizzles on stage. The Navy lawyer, a callow young man more interested in softball games than the case, expects a plea bargain and a cover up of what really happened. Prodded by a female member of his defense team, the lawyer eventually makes a valiant effort to defend his clients and, in the process, puts the military mentality and the Marine code of honor on trial.

"Plenty of wise cracking humor and suspense." -Time Magazine
