"Jesus Christ Superstar" opens at the Murfreesboro Center for the Arts, and "9 to 5" begins at the Arts Center of Cannon County in neighboring Woodbury.

Admission to both shows is $15 for adults, and $13 for students and seniors.

Murfreesboro Center for the Arts

The Andrew Lloyd Webber rock opera "Jesus Christ Superstar" runs March 8th through the 31st at the Murfreesboro Center for the Arts (110 West College Street).

Backstage Bash

In its fourth year, The Backstage Bash benefiting The Center for the Arts is one of the community’s most popular events. The fourth annual block party swings into action on Saturday, March 16th, 2013 on College Street in front of The Center for the Arts with a soundtrack provided by Music City Swing. The Bash, a distinctive fun event, is the Center for the Arts’ primary fundraiser.

Phone 615-904-ARTS (2787) for information or to make reservations about "Jesus Christ Superstar" or the 2013 Backstage Bash.

Arts Center of Cannon County

The musical version of "9 to 5" is at the Arts Center of Cannon County from March 8th through the 23rd. Performances are at 7:30PM Friday and Saturday nights with a 2:00 o'clock Sunday afternoon matinee. The theater is at 1424 John Bragg Highway in neighboring Woodbury.

This rock opera is based very loosely on the stories told in the Gospels Jesus' life, including His final week, beginning with the preparation for the arrival of Jesus and his disciples in Jerusalem and ending with the crucifixion. 

Based on the sensational musical version of the popular 1980 hit movie of the same name, this show is full of laughter and side-splitting Southern sass. Join us for this outrageous story of three unlikely friends who concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss.

Phone 615-563-ARTS (2787) for information or to make reservations.
