The Sound of Music
Nov 16 @ 1:00 pm
Peace Center

For 65 years, THE SOUND OF MUSIC has been one of our “favorite things.”

With its timeless story and irresistibly charming score, this Rodgers & Hammerstein classic isn’t just meant to be enjoyed—it’s meant to be shared. Now, a critically acclaimed North American tour brings the cherished musical to stages across the country to teach a new generation to sing.

Directed by three-time Tony Award® winner Jack O’Brien (Hairspray), this vibrant and romantic tale of Maria and the von Trapp family features beloved songs like “Do-Re-Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen,” and “Edelweiss.”

Always a Bridesmaid
Nov 16 @ 2:30 pm
Spartanburg Little Theatre

Four friends made a promise at their senior prom: to be in each other’s weddings, no matter what. Who knew that over thirty years later, they would still be forced to honor that vow? With everything from runaway brides to fistfights, ugly bridesmaid dresses, and multiple trips down the aisle, the perfect wedding seems to elude these loyal ladies. Hop on this marriage-go-round for a laugh-out-loud adventure in sickness and in health as they navigate the choppy waters of love and matrimony.
