Bethel Springs, Tennessee: Let's Rock 'n' Roll!Arts in McNairy's cultural survey team was commissioned to study and report on an early Elvis Presley performance at Bethel Springs, Tennessee. While the team will continue gathering information on this historic event, the preliminary study results have been published, and you will be amazed! Download and read the report here.
Upcoming Theatre ShowHumpty-Dumpty Is Missing! is an affectionate spoof of the private-eye thrillers of the 1940s and '50s . Sammy Scoop is a private investigator in the tradition of his grandfather, Samuel Shovel and his father, Sam Spade. Sammy faces the biggest challenge of his illustrious career with the sudden fall and disappearance of the jolly Humpty-Dumpty who apparently had no enemies. But Sammy and his sidekick, Alice from Dallas, soon come up with a list of suspects who had motive and, perhaps, opportunity. Mistress Mary, Rip Van Winkle, Henny-Penny, Peter Rabbit and his sisters, Rapunzel and the Handsome Prince (who, because he is a painter, prefers to be called the Artist Formerly Known As the Handsome Prince) are among the many suspects called onto the carpet. A last-minute surprise appearance by two of fairy tales most celebrated characters, Mother Goose and Mother Hubbard, finally help Sammy and Alice nab the culprit (the least likely suspect, of course—we'd never break tradition in that important area).
