Beethoven’s 9th: An Ode to Joy – Saturday, March 16 @ 7:30-9:30 p.m.

Whitey Morgan – Sunday, March 17 @ 7:30 p.m.
The history of country music has no shortage of characters hit by hard luck: the hard-working man who can’t seem to make ends meet, the heart-of-gold drunk who just can’t seem to put down the bottle, the woman who wants to do right but ends up, time and again, doing wrong. In the case of Whitey Morgan, those characters — the drinker, the troublemaker, the struggling, hard-working man — all seem arrestingly real.
Admission: $25 General Admission, $75 VIP
Location: Clyde Theatre, 1808 Bluffton Road
