Hey everyone,
I just wanted to take a little bit of time to talk about what’s going on in the theatre community right here in Rutherford County. Despite the Pandemic, many of the theatre groups have been hard at work, producing online and streaming content to entertain and provide comfort for our community during these strange times. With vaccines becoming more readily available and places starting to open back up, it might just be the right time to head back to our community theaters and support your local thespians! Here’s what’s going on in the next couple of weeks:
This weekend, This Might Work Productions brings us a virtual performance of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory on May 2nd at 7:30pm CST! The performance is free to watch, and features some of Murfreesboro and Rutherford County’s finest actors. See the link below to watch the show:

Murfreesboro Little Theatre kicks off their production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Oakland’s Mansion on May 8th and 9th and 13th-16th at 7pm CST. Go to www.mlt.com/ to get your tickets, or come to 900 N. Maney Avene, Murfreesboro, TN 37130 before the doors open!
Did you know that Murfreesboro has stand up comedy? Check out the best stand up comedy line up this side of Overall Creek at the Smokes and Jokes Comedy Showcase at Liquid Smoke every second Monday at 8:30pm! The show is free, and is hosted by Murfreesboro’s own Matt Taylor and Nick Bush. Along with the lineup, they also feature a couple of “bucket spots” (put your name in the bucket for your chance to draw for your own open mic slot!) Must be 21 or older to enter in the establishment. Located on 2nd N. Public Square in Murfreesboro!
Newest theatre troupe Bravo Boro is bringing us back to the Old West with their production of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence on May 14th! Get your tickets at BravoBoro.com! We want to welcome Bravo Boro to the theatre community here in Rutherford County, and are super excited to see what they have to offer us!
And that’s a quick round up of what’s going on with Theatre Arts here in Rutherford County! Are you a new theatre troupe in town and want to promote your event via Rutherford Arts Alliance? Contact me, Taylor Gentry at taylor.camcordertv@gmail.com for more information.
