Presented by Steeple Players Community Theatre June 3-June 13, 2010
It’s Rydell High’s senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding “Burger Palace Boys” and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking “Pink Ladies.” One of the world’s most popular musicals, Grease is the look and sound of the 1950s, complete with pedal-pushers and bobby socks. Head “greaser” Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their “Summer Nights” as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such songs as “Greased Lightnin’”, “It’s Raining on Prom Night”, “Alone at the Drive-In Movie” recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation.

Nashville TN, Inspector Finds Poorly Installed Pull Down Stairway

Filed under Inspector Findings
Most builders fail to read the mounting instructions when installing pull down stairways leading up to the attic. They are most often found installed with sheet metal screws which do not have the sufficient side to side sheer strength. Most installation decals found on the inside of the ladder require a minimum of 16 16D nails that should be applied to all sides of the ladder. This can be a safety issue when carrying boxes or large items up the ladder to store in the attic.

Cast iron plumbing drain pipes have been around since the early 1900’s. They are often found in a decaying state and will eventually need to be updated and replaced with today’s PVC poly vinyl chloride plastic pipes. The pipe view in the picture was found in a 1900 house and has split and decayed to the point the entire plumging system needs replaced.
Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Presented by Tennessee Repertory Theatre March 20-April 10, 2010
Mark Twain’s timeless classic sweeps us down the mighty Mississippi as the irrepressible Huck Finn helps his friend Jim, a slave, escape to freedom at the mouth of the Ohio River. Their adventures along the way are hilarious, suspenseful and heartwarming, bringing to life favorite characters from the novel-the Widow Douglas and her stern sister, Miss Watson; the uproarious King and Duke, who may or may not be as harmless as they seem; Huck’s partner in crime, Tom Sawyer, and their rowdy gang of pals; Huck’s drunken father, the sinister Pap Finn; the lovely Mary Jane Wilkes and her trusting family. Propelled by an award-winning score from Roger Miller, the king of country music, this jaunty journey provides a brilliantly theatrical celebration of pure Americana.
Original Tennessee Rep Production: 1991/1992 Season
The Tennessee Rep production of Big River will be a companion piece to Nashville Children’s Theatre’s production of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (fall 2009). Both productions are featured as a part of Nashville’s “One City, One Author” celebration of Mark Twain presented by the Nashville Public Library.

February 26-March 14, 2010
Tennessee Women’s Theater Project presents the regional premiere of Secrets of a Soccer Mom, by Kathleen Clark. This comedy-with-a-kick is set on the sidelines of a mother-son soccer game, where three women discover that the competition kindles a desire to recapture their spirit of adventure. Acclaimed by critics and popular with audiences in its off-Broadway run, Secrets of a Soccer Mom manages to combine laugh-out-loud comedy with a thought-provoking examination of motherhood.
