The political figures in Stuff Happens are real, conveying our various perspectives about the war and events which have dominated interna-tional headlines for several years. circleplayers.net

November 3-6, 10-13 – The Battle of FranklinJamison Theater, Franklin. This brand new original work brings poetic cadence and theatrical story-telling to the 1864 Battle of Franklin, one of the bloodiest campaigns of the American Civil War. Studio Tenn has enlisted the expertise of leading local historians as well as top artistic talent for the development of this stirring performance piece, combining poetic license with actual accounts from the battle to bring new light to the lives lived and lost in the war-torn South. Through the power of music and drama, we venture back in time to witness the tragic struggles between father and son, master and slave, the North and South. It’s a tale of a broken family and a broken nation. But in the end, the story of the Battle of Franklin is about more than mere history – it’s about the conflict in all of us, and our hope of restoration.

November 3-6, 10-13, 17-20, 24-27 – Red, White, & TunaChaffin’s Barn Dinner Theatre, 8204 Highway 100. Nashville’s original barn and most unique dining and entertainment experience offers a premium buffet and professional theater. The much antici-pated third installment in the Tuna trilogy takes the audience through another satirical ride into the hearts and minds of the polyester-clad citizens of Texas’ third smallest town, Tuna. Along with Tuna’s perennial favorites, some new Tuna denizens burst into the 4th of July Tuna High School Class Reunion. This sets the stage for a show full of fireworks and

fun from the land where the Lion’s Club is too liber-al and Patsy Cline never dies. It’s been several years since we left Bertha and Arles dancing at the end of A Tuna Christmas...Did the romance blossom? Has Didi Snavley received any “cosmic” commu-nications from R.R.’s UFO? Did Stanley make his fortune in the Albuquerque taxidermy business? These and other burning questions will be asked and answered in the side-splitting spoof of life in rural America. Performances Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights; Thursday and Sunday matinees. dinnertheatre.com

November 5 – Evening at Nashville Jazz WorkshopThe Jazz Cave, 1319 Adams Street. Noted L.A.-based guitarist Anthony Wilson makes a special appearance and will be joined by The Beegie Adair Trio.

November 2-5 – Noises OffAndrew Johnson Theater, Tennessee Performing Arts Center, 505 Deaderick Street. Doing a com-edy takes a lot of hard work. A lot of hard work and a lot of sardines. Hard work, sardines, slam-ming doors, and sometimes an effort to avoid strangling your fellow cast mates. In this show-within-a-show sex farce, the chaos of rehearsal becomes chaos behind the scenes (literally), and ultimately utter disaster. This comic catastrophe is probably not what the saying “You have to suf-fer for your art” was meant to represent, but to the audience’s delight, Noises Off from Nashville Repertory Theatre makes theater gone wrong so funny you just won’t care. This brilliant comedy was a riotous success when The Rep produced it over ten years ago, and we figured we could all use a big laugh about now. Ages middle school and above. nashvillerep.org

November 5, 6, 9, 12, 13, 19, 20, 26, 27 – Junie B. Jones Is Not a CrookNashville Children’s Theatre, 25 Middleton. A ter-rible thing has happened to Junie B.! Someone took her new black furry mittens! And they kept them! They didn’t even put them in the Lost and Found at school. A fun story about fairness and finders keepers, losers weepers! nashvillechildrenstheatre.org

Hoomes, Maestro Dean Williamson, and the cast of Glory Denied will take questions from the audi-ence in this up-close-and-personal session. Plan to stay if you can! nashvilleopera.org

But in Ralphie Parker’s family, your mouth gets washed with soap, the neighbor’s dogs devour your oven-fresh turkey and those carols are replaced with choruses of “You’ll shoot your eye out.” Because nothing says Christmas like a leg lamp, pink bunny pajamas and sticking your tongue to the frozen flag pole!
