- The Elephant Man
There are some big parties this weekend like Saturday’s Curtain Up: A Taste of Playhouse on the Square. It’s an over the top event with lots of food, lots of beverages, too much entertainment and dancing on the stage. Or, as Playhouse’s Courtney Oliver puts it, “It’s kicking.”
Let’s all cross our fingers and hope that Theatre Memphis takes good care of itself this weekend and doesn’t break a hip. This enduring organization—quite literally born in a stable— is pulling out the stops to celebrate its 90th birthday. There’s a concert by Kallen Esperian on Friday evening and dancing into the late bright. Then There are kid’s events on Saturday afternoon.
But what does all this shindigging mean for people who actually want to see a show? The choices are slimmer than usual to be sure, but there’s still plenty to choose from.
