Bob Schneider – The Franklin Theatre – Events in Franklin, TN
Austin-based singer/songwriter/creative force of nature, Bob Schneider, has been the singer and main songwriter on nearly 30 studio albums, and he has been named Musician of the Year six times at the Austin Music Awards. Considering the renowned strength of the music scene in Austin, that’s saying something. His artistry coupled with his movie-star looks and boyish charm makes it a wonder he’s not a household name around the rest of the country the way he is in Austin.

Events & Things to Do in Franklin, TN!!
Ramona Quimby – The Franklin Theatre
Unpredictable. Exasperating. Boisterous and independent. That’s Ramona Quimby for you. Always aggravating her older sister, Beezus, constantly getting into trouble and sometimes “making a big, noisy fuss” when things don’t go her way.
As narrator, Beezus (Beatrice Quimby) introduces the Quimby family and friends and thereby sets the scene for the collection of vignettes that trace Ramona’s tumultuous passage through third grade and through her family relationships. At school, she throws a tantrum when provoked by a classmate and is sent home in disgrace. The teacher’s wrath, an important family wedding, persistent sibling bickering and Mr. Quimby’s attempts to give up smoking are part of the fabric that shape a humorous, loving family portrait.

This show is performed by the talented kids and teens of Act Too Players.

Historic Franklin Masonic Hall to Host Lecture Series – Race, Realism and Reconciliation: A Conversation for Consideration
Franklin, TN – The Historic Franklin Masonic Hall in Franklin, Tennessee, will host the second lecture in the series Race, Realism and Reconciliation: A Conversation for Consideration, on Thursday, January 12, 2017, at 7 o’clock. Two historians will come together to candidly discuss the issues surrounding slavery during Polk’s America, the road to the Civil War and Civil Rights.
The Historic Franklin Masonic Hall cordially invites the community to attend. Moderated by Rachael Finch, Preservation Consultant and Historian for the Historic Franklin Masonic Hall, the featured speaker will be Mr. Thomas Price, Curator of the President James K. Polk Home and Museum. Price will present “A Matter of Utmost Caution: James K. Polk and Slavery,” a discussion on the dichotomy of Polk, his views on slavery, and the fractious debate that would culminate in the Civil War. Price will also discuss President Polk’s former slave, Elias, who went on to become a major political activist having learned much about political organization from observing the late President through three decades in politics. Commentary will be provided by Finch.
Doors will open at 6:45. Prior to the lecture, coffee and light refreshments will be served and the discussion will begin promptly at 7pm. The speakers will welcome questions from the audience attendees and encourage open discussion. The Race, Realism and Reconciliation lecture series is free and open to the public.
