The Center for the Arts presents two outdoor shows in May, The Savannah Sipping Society running May 7 through 9 at Cannonsburgh Village and Little Women running May 21 through 23 at The Fountains at Gateway.
“We are excited to continue our arts programming in a different way,” says Center for the Arts Executive Director Patience Long. “It has been a very long year and all of our community from youth to adults have been missing the excitement and escape of live theater. Having two productions both happening in May feels like we are getting back to normal.”
The Savannah Sipping Society is a laugh-a-minute comedy that will delight audiences with heart-touching humor and is the perfect event for a Mother’s Day outing for the family or a girls night out. The outdoor performances at Cannonsburgh Village provide the perfect backdrop for a series of events that all take place over drinks on a front porch. Tickets are $20 and concessions and bar service will be available.
The Savannah Sipping Society is the tale of four unique Southern women, all needing to escape the sameness of their day-to-day routines, drawn together by fate and an impromptu happy hour. Together, they discover lasting friendships and a renewed determination to live in the moment.
Directed by Mark David Williams, performances of The Savannah Sipping Society will be Friday, May 7 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, May 8 at 2 and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, May 9, at 2 p.m. Cannonsburgh Village is located at 312 S. Front St., Murfreesboro.
Center for the Arts’ youth program, Center Stage Academy, will bring the beloved classic Little Women to the stage at the Fountains at Gateway. This production features students ages 9 to 18, selected by audition, who will bring the story of the March family to Murfreesboro. Tickets are $15 and patrons are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets. Concessions will be available.
Directed by Denise Parton, performances of Little Women will be on May 21 at 7:30 p.m., May 22 at 2 and 7:30 p.m., and May 23 at 2 p.m. Fountains at Gateway is located at 1500 Medical Center Pkwy., Murfreesboro.
