Saturday, January 20, 7pm- Black Angels over Tuskegee
Something for the history and military buffs out there! This masterful Off-Broadway Play written by Louisiana Native Layon Gray is vibrant, energetic, and emotionally captivating. Black Angels Over Tuskegee tells the fictionalized story of six men embarking on a journey to become the first Black aviators in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II, a tumultuous era of racial segregation. Inspired by true events, this award-winning drama explores the struggle of the trailblazing Tuskegee Airmen who, in spite of overwhelming odds, overcame Jim Crow injustices with intelligence, patriotism, and brotherhood. Written by Louisiana Native Layon Gray.
Friday, January 26, 7:30pm- Twitty & Lynn- A Salute to Conway and Loretta
Back by popular demand, one of the highest-attended shows from 2023! There’s never been a more dynamic country music duo than Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn! Now, the torch has been passed to the next generation…Tayla Lynn and Tre Twitty. It’s a must-see show with Tayla and Tre delivering their iconic grandparents’ super hits! Along with stories behind the songs, Tayla will bring on the laughs and sometimes the tears with her stories about traveling on the road with her Memaw, and how Loretta was inspired to pencil those words from her heart onto a yellow legal pad and spin them into country gold. Tre Twitty is Conway’s grandson and with his smooth style and delivery, you’ll feel that his Poppy is right back on that stage!
