February 5, 2010 - 8:00pm |

the unforgettable caricature of veteran comedian James Gregory has stood grinning:
his shirt un-tucked, his arms outstretched, a carefree welcome to a down-home, hilarious
comedy experience. It’s storytelling at its best. The trademark caricature is the
essence of James Gregory’s comedy: rib-tickling reflections on life from the front
porch. Tickets Prices: $27, Seniors 65+, and $22 for

Life is So Good |
|
February 12, 2010 - 7:30pm |
Mike Wiley returns with David zum Brunnen in the inspiring true story of a slave’s
grandson who goes to school and learns to read at age 98. Based on Richard Glaubman’s
bestseller about 103-year-old George Dawson, this is the adaption of the Oprah-selected
book that received the 2001 Christopher Award for work affirming “the highest values
of the human spirit.” It is the story of an entire century; a life lived by George’s
credo: ‘Life is so good. I do believe it’s getting better.’ ”If you go to the theater
to have your soul uplifted, experience the magic that great productions create or
watch the first-rate talent on stage and off—you’ll get it all in “Life is So Good.”
