This remarkable group has graced the stages of The Opry House, Carnegie Hall, The Country Music Hall of Fame, and The Ryman Auditorium and have entertained in venues as diverse as Nashville’s Puckett’s Restaurant and the Orleans Casino in Las Vegas. Stunningly skillful musicianship and diversity of style – along with a compelling story of redemption from the darkness of a Russian orphanage – produce a concert experience that is certain to intrigue and entertain.

2024-05-03 19:00 - 2024-05-05 14:00 UTC | Williamson County Performing Arts Center, 112 Everbright Avenue, Franklin, 37064
Hartzog & Silva, PLLC presents the Star Bright Players (ages 12-18) production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a lushly scored retelling of Victor Hugo’s epic story of love, acceptance and what it means to be a hero. Based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney animated feature, The Hunchback of Notre Dame showcases the film’s Academy Award-nominated score, as well as new songs by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz. Peter Parnell’s book embraces story theatre and features verbatim passages from Hugo’s gothic novel. The musical begins as the bells of Notre Dame sound through the famed cathedral in fifteenth-century Paris. Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer who longs to be “Out There,” observes all of Paris reveling in the Feast of Fools. Held captive by his devious caretaker, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, he escapes for the day and joins the boisterous crowd, only to be treated cruelly by all but the beautiful Romani woman, Esmeralda. Quasimodo isn’t the only one captivated by her free spirit, though – the handsome Captain Phoebus and Frollo are equally enthralled. As the three vie for her attention, Frollo embarks on a mission to destroy the Roma – and it’s up to Quasimodo to save them all. Ticket sponsor: Image Surgical Arts (www.imagesurgicalarts.com)

It’s a greatest Hits album Release Party On July 2 at 19 Miles with Regie Hamm

Regie Hamm’s life has had all the twists, turns, and drama of a Hollywood movie. He was raised in Pentecostal churches, tent revivals, and all night singings. But rose from those humble beginnings to experience unprecedented success in the music industry, writing 18 number-one hits from 1994 to 2001. With Grammy and Dove nominations, and winning SESAC’s Songwriter of the Year award four times. Regie was about to launch into that same stratosphere as a pop artist signed to Universal Records. Regie and his family have experienced the highest of highs …and the lowest of lows, and have overcome enormous obstacles on a journey that would test not only their physical resources and their faith but their very sanity. Regie Hamm’s amazing story sent his life in a different direction and was chronicled in his book, Angels & Idols. Through that process, Regie found himself writing a weekly blog as well as screenplays and movie treatments. His skills as a master story-telling songwriter have been re-imagined into first-rate author and dynamic blogger.
