When reading the description of THE FINAL DAYS OF WOLFE TONE, you wouldn't expect it to be a comedy. And while it technically doesn't fall into that category, it's clear within the first few minutes of the show that humor is a common thread weaved throughout the production that made its mark on a captivated crowd at TPAC's Andrew Johnson Theatre on Mon., March 13.

THE FINAL DAYS OF WOLFE TONE by playwright Peter Danish tells story of a man who led the Irish rebellion against the British in 1798 and is one not just of historical documentation, but holds modern day relevance as well.

The Music City Irish Fest presents, direct from a sold-out run in New York, the BroadwayWorld.com Winner Best New Play of 2016:  THE FINAL DAYS OF WOLFE TONE.   Ciaran Sheehan (star of Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables) leads a cast of Broadway veterans in a brilliant new play that chronicles the finals days of "the George Washington of Ireland," who led the Irish Rebellion of 1798 against the British.

Bill W. and Dr. Bob's seemingly serendipitous meeting and subsequent founding of AA in 1935 has altered the course and saved the lives of millions of people around the world. This inspiring story is not only about Bill W. and Dr. Bob, it's about all of us.

Going to the Theatre, for me, can do one of two things: educate me and enthrall me, or elevate me to an outer-worldly experience.

This week, we go around our Broadway World to feature stories in New Jersey, Salt Lake City, Sydney, and more. Check out our top 10 spooky stories around our Broadway World below, which include the National Tour of BULLETS OVER BROADWAY in Nashville, BUYER & CELLAR in Salt Lake City, and Audra McDonald in Sydney, just to name a few.

A show about the two guys that started AA? That sounds like fun - right? Actually it is a lot more fun than one might expect. Shades Repertory Theater has a winner on its hands.
