De-Tox by Don Kapa
A comedy in which a motley assortment of humanity is thrown together overnight in a de-tox center that is one step away from the drunk tank. A halfway house of sorts becomes home to a most unusual family. What could possibly go wrong?
Saturday, March 17 at 2:00 PM at Theatre Knoxville Downtown

World Premiere Production: The Senator’s Wife

by C. Robert Jones
When politics and family meet, they can both come out a little the worse for wear. The widow of a prominent Democratic US Senator is being wooed by a current Republican senator in this battle for the heart of a lady – and oh by the way – for control of the Senate. A romantic comedy – with songs!
March 9–25 at Theatre Knoxville Downtown
Thursday thru Saturday at 8pm & Sunday matinees at 3pm
