SUMMARY:Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde at The Jackson Theatre
DESCRIPTION:September 17 — 7:00 PMDr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1932)\nSpeakeasy Cinema\nPay What You Can\nSpeakeasy Cinema Series – Doors open at 6 pm\, movie at 7pm\nJazz Music\, Specialty Craft Cocktails (and Mocktails) for purchase\nalong with our full selection of beverages at the concession stand.\nComplimentary light bites will we available.\n“I’ll show you what horror means” – growls the hideous Mr. Hyde\nDr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde story is one of the most enduring and classic ones in both literature and film history. When it was first published in the year 1886\, Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde aroused a storm of controversy. Quaint Victorian sensibilities were outraged by its premise that every human being has a demon lurking within\, longing to break loose and indulge in forbidden pleasures. By scientific means\, the tale’s protagonist\, the kindly Dr. Jekyll\, frees his suppressed self and plunges into an orgy of uncontrollable licentiousness that ends in an untimely demise. Although the motives and circumstances of splitting one character into two have changed from adaptation to adaptation\, the basic premise of the story is still compelling. This version is the first sound one (previous version from 1920 starring John Barrymore). It is an adaptation of two 1887 stages play by Thomas Russell Sullivan\, Luella Forepaugh and George F. Fish\, rather than the book by Robert Louis Stevenson. It is considered the best version of Stevenson’s classic; this 1932 film resulted in an Oscar win for actor Fredric March. Beautifully filmed by Rouben Mamoulian and well-acted across the board. It also features some stunning visual tricks and strong pre-Code sexual content.\nRated TV-PG\nRunning Time 97 minutes\nSpecialty Cocktail: The Mad Scientist

SUMMARY:Eugene Wolf's "Book of Mamaw" at The Jackson Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Jackson Theatre on Sunday\, October 11th at 4pm for Eugene Wolf’s “Book of Mamaw”.\nThe Book of Mamaw is a deeply personal\, music-filled journey through the heart of Appalachia. When two-year-old Eugene wins a talent contest singing My Shoes Keep Walking Back to You\, his beloved grandmother\, Mamaw\, knows he is destined for something special.\nRaised in Greeneville\, Tennessee after his father abandons the family\, Eugene grows up in a world of Church of Christ hymns\, Grand Ole Opry dreams\, Kays Ice Cream shifts\, and Avon sales calls where Mamaw proudly has him perform for her customers. From Connie Francis and Loretta Lynn to The Beatles and Barbra Streisand\, Eugene discovers that music can fill the emptiness left by loss and become a bridge to hope.\nFilled with humor\, heart\, and extraordinary performances spanning bluegrass\, gospel\, country\, and pop\, Eugene Wolf celebrates the woman who gave him everything and explores how her fierce\, complicated love shaped the man and artist he would become.\n“As both performer and playwright of The Book of Mamaw\, Eugene Wolf succeeds at both in such a way that the presentation felt like a gift… Wolf has not learned these hymns in a workshop or seminar. He has lived these hymns.”\n— DC Theatre Scene

The hits continued throughout the decade with their signature song “All the Gold in California” followed by “Houston (Means I’m One Day Closer To You).” The next decade brought number one songs with “I Don’t Wanna Cry”\, “I Just Wish You Were Someone I Love\,” “Statues Without Hearts\,” “Love Is Just A Game”\, and “Night Time Magic.” Larry has also written & produced a musical\, “Quanah”\, which was performed in April 2017 to rave reviews.\nThey have performed at the White House\, the President Reagan Library\, Air Force One\, Ford’s Theater\, Camp David\, President Bush’s 80th Birthday Party\, The Lincoln Theater\, Carnegie Hall\, Madison Square Gardens\, West Point\, The Mall in Washington D.C.\, The Greek Theater\, Billy Bob’s Texas\, Radio City Music Hall\, Disney World and The Wembley Music Festival\, to name a few.

The brothers grew up singing gospel music while listening to James Blackwood and the Blackwood Brothers\, Hovie Lister\, and The Statesmen Quartet as well other accomplished gospel artists. As children the brothers would sing for anyone who would listen. Soon they were singing from coast to coast and appeared at the World’s Fair in 1964 in New York City. They recorded four Gospel records early in their career. In 1966\, Larry went to college at the University of Houston where he studied English and Law. In 1971\, he auditioned for The Imperials\, Elvis’ backup group. While he did not get the job\, he met Dottie West\, who was the opening act for Jimmy Dean. Dean would later become one of Larry’s oldest and dearest friends. Dottie was initially taken with Larry’s resemblance to Nashville songwriter Mickey Newbury. She told him one night in Las Vegas that he looked so much like Mickey\, he had to be able to write great songs too. Encouraged\, Larry returned to Houston\, wrote eight songs\, and sent them to Dottie. She liked them so much she sent him a plane ticket to Nashville.\nThrough Dottie’s friendship\, Larry met Kris Kristofferson\, who championed his talents as a writer and singer. Kristofferson’s introduction to Fred Foster at Monument Records resulted in a recording contract with the label. Larry’s first album\, The Pilgrim\, was released later that year. Johnny Cash wrote the liner notes for the album and dubbed him “The Pilgrim”\, a name he called him the rest of his life. At this time Steve and Rudy were still in college at Texas Tech University\, but by 1975 they moved to Nashville to join Larry to form the group as we know it today.\nThe brothers still perform approximately 40 road concert dates a year as well as 30 performances at the famed Grand Ole’ Opry. They are also in the planning stages of recording some new music. “We are blessed that fans still love our music & attend our shows” says Steve & “we hope to continue as long as that’s the case.”\n\nAwards\, Television Shows & Venues\n1964 World’s Fair New York City\, New York / Hee-Haw / Hee-Haw Honeys\nHuckabee TV Show / The Barbara Mandrel Show / The Merv Griffith Show\nThe Mike Douglas Show / Gatlin Brothers ABC Special / Solid Gold TV Show\nThe Dinah Shore Show / John Davidson TV Show / SALUTE with Dick Clark\nJohnny Cash Special / Crook & Chase Show / Midnight Special with Wolfman Jack\nLove Boat / Marty Stuart TV Show / Larry’s Country Diner\nJason Crabb TV Show / Pop Goes the County / Marty Robbins TV Show / Ralph Emory TV Show\nTommy Hunter TV Show (Canada) / Bill Gaither Videos / Carnegie Hall (New York)\nAT&T Stadium (Dallas) / Wembley Stadium (London) / Death Valley (Clemson University)\nSuper Dome (New Orleans) / Madison Square Garden (New York) / Pontiac Silverdome (Pontiac)\nAstrodome (Houston) / Reliant Field (Houston)\nNissan Stadium (Titans Nashville) / Yankee Stadium (New York)\nRose Bowl (Pasadena\, CA) / Candlestick Park (San Francisco) / Forum (Los Angeles)\nRyman Auditorium (Nashville)\nGrand Ole Opry House (Nashville) / 48 years members of Grand Ole Opry\nPerformed for 8 U.S. PRESIDENTS
