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 high 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.

The classic Mel Brooks movie is ALIVE...and it's headed to Nashville! You'll have a monstrously good time at this spectacular new production, winner of the 2008 Outer Critics Circle Award and the Broadway.com Audience Award for BEST MUSICAL!

Don't miss the sensational cast delivering all your favorite moments from the classic film, plus brand-new, show-stopping numbers for the stage, including "Transylvania Mania," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and "Putting' on the Ritz." This wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Frankenstein legend follows bright young Dr. Frankenstein (that's Fronkensteen) as he attempts to create a monster -- but not without scary and hilarious complications.

The brains behind the laughter is mad genius and three-time Tony winner Mel Brooks himself -- who wrote the music and lyrics and co-wrote the book - along with his record-breaking team from "The Producers": five-time Tony-winning director and choreographer Susan Stroman and three-time Tony-winning writer, Thomas Meehan.
