Tonight! Staged reading of “DAISY” by Sean Devine Monday, May 13 @ 7:00 pm at the Square Room, 4 Market Square FREE ADMISSION (Donations appreciated) Doors open at 6:30 PM. THE STORY: It’s the fall of 1964. Bloody turmoil over civil rights is spilling onto the streets. A fearful ideology is growing from the conservative right. The threat of nuclear war is palpable. And a little skirmish in the far-off nation of Vietnam just won’t go away. With a presidential election looming, a group of “ad-men” working for Lyndon Johnson unleash the most devastating political commercial ever conceived, the “Daisy ad.” Based on true events, DAISY explores the moment in television history that launched the age of negative advertising, and forever changed how we elect our leaders. War was the objective. Peace was the bait. Everyone got duped.
Join us tonight for Intermediate/Advanced Modern with Brynn! @pyropixie5 7:00-8:30 PM Monday at the Tennessee Conservatory of Fine Arts. Don’t forget about our Asking April campaign, too!

MEET THE CAST! Celeste Pelletier (Cordelia) is beyond thrilled about the opportunity to work with the wonderful cast and crew of Pellissippi’s and The WordPlayer’s joint production of King Lear. You may have seen her in the past in productions at River and Rail Theater as #46 in The Wolves, or as The Fox in The Little Prince. Celeste would like to thank everyone in the crew, her wonderfully supportive friends and family, and most of all, her cat Dumpy, without whom she would surely go insane. She hopes you enjoy the show!
