About Trips and Events

The Paris Henry County Arts Council is offering exciting and fun filled bus trips to the Tennessee Performing Arts Center in Nashville during each year.

You won't have to worry about the price of gasoline, finding parking downtown, contenting with traffic jams, or what to do on a Saturday afternoon. Just ask the folks who have traveled with us before to see a Broadway production at TPAC. It is a special time together. This year our bus trips have a theme centered around the Broadway production with games to play and prizes to win.

Thanks to the citizens, businesses, and organizations of Henry County, we have been able to bring quality cultural events to our area ranging from visual arts to instrumental and vocal performances to stage productions. Most activities have been planned and executed by our volunteer board members and manned by our Friends of the Arts organization.

Experience the phenomenon of *Disney's THE LION KING* when Nashville's best-loved musical makes a triumphant return to TPAC following its record-breaking 2006 engagement! Marvel at the breathtaking spectacle of animals brought to life by award-winning director Julie Taymor, whose visual images for this show you'll remember forever. Thrill to the pulsating rhythms of the African Pridelands and an unforgettable score including Elton John and Tim Rice's Oscar-winning song, "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" and "Circle of Life." Let your imagination run wild when the Tony Award-winning Broadway sensation returns to Jackson Hall.


Based on the DreamWorks film and the incredible true story that inspired it, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is the high-flying, splashy new Broadway musical that tells the stroy of Frank W. Abignale, Jr., a teenager who runs away from home in search of the glamorous life. With nothing more than his boyish charm, a big imagination and millions of dollars in forged checks, Frank successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer - living the high life and winning the girl of his dreams. But when Frank's lies catch the attention of FBI agent Carl Hanratty, Carl chases Frank to the end... and finds something he never expected.

This delightfully entertaining musical has been created by a Tony Award-winning "dream team," with a book by Terrence McNally (*The Full Monty, Ragtime*),
a swinging score by Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman (* Hairspray*), choreography by Jerry Mitchell (*Hairspray, Legally Blonde*)
and directed by Jack O'Brien (*Hairspray, The Full Monty, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels*).

Don't miss this big-hearted musical adventure based on an astonishing real-life story of being young, in love... and in deep, deep trouble!

Direct from Broadway, the classic holiday tradition White Christmas comes to the stage at last!
This brand new musical shines with classic Berlin hits like "Blue Skies," "How Deep is the Ocean?"
and, of course, the unforgettable title song. *Irving Berlin's White Christmas* tells the story of two
showbiz buddies putting on a show in a magical Vermont inn and finding their perfect mates in the bargain.
Full of dancing, laughter and some of the greatest songs ever written, Irving Berlin's White Christmas
promises to be a merry and bright theatrical experience for the whole family!
