Roane County Children's Theatre Opening Production On April 7th!

Roane County Children’s Theatre

Opening Thursday, April 7 and running through Saturday, April 9, the Roane County Children’s Theatre presents Michael Wehrli’s Law and Disorder: The Case of B.B. Wolf, The Stolen Tarts, and Mass Confusion.

The family-friendly, light-hearted tale involves all the characters you know and love as they join together for the trial of the century. The infamous B.B. Wolf has been accused of destroying all three of the pigs’ homes and dear old Granny of Red Riding Hood fame is suspected of stealing the Queen of Hearts’ tarts. Never has such a scandal rocked the world of Wonderland!

This double-cast production involves nearly 60 children from the local area and promises to be the first of many Children’s Theatre productions. Directed by Courtney Minton, the cast and crew is composed of students ages 8 to 18. The cast is led by veteran performers Audrey Coleman and Jackson Gerberding while more students, led by Stage Manager Alexis Hankins, can be found behind the scenes working as light and sound technicians, prop master, costume designer, and makeup artists.

Performances of Law and Disorder will take place at The Princess Theatre in Harriman, Tennessee on April 7, 8, and 9 at 7:00 PM and on April 9 at 2:00 PM. Admission is free and all donations will benefit future Roane County Children's Theatre productions. For additional information, please contact cminton@roaneschools.com.

Resurrection - A Journey Tribute Brought The Music Saturday Night At The Princess

Keyboardist, Vic White, first heard "the Voice" of Ryan Christopher while they performed with a popular Nashville-based 80's act in 2011. "Ryan knew one of the guys in the band, and he had been invited to sit in that night to sing Separate Ways and Lights with us", explains Vic. "The moment Ryan took the stage, my jaw hit the floor from watching his precise Steve Perry mannerisms and hearing his spot-on rendition of Perry's voice! Since I grew up a big Journey fan during the '80's, that was the most fun I had experienced on stage in quite some time."

In 2013 Vic White, Ryan Christopher, and the band set out to create the most authentic Journey experience anyone could ever witness, they spent countless hours discussing the look, sound, production, and FEEL needed for this Journey tribute to deliver a live experience that would resonate on the highest level with the most avid Journey fan. 

On March 10, 2014, at Gray's on Main in Franklin, TN, the band "Resurrection - A Journey Tribute" struck its first notes in front of a live audience. The band has been on a whirlwind journey ever since, growing quickly from a weekend-warrior act into one of the most highly sought-after tribute experiences in the country. Those of us that attended last night's performance, can attest to their authenticity!  It was awesome!

The music took everyone back to 80's and out of their seats to dance in the aisles!

The house was packed, and everyone seemed to have a great time, but we missed you!
