Through 2/24/12
The Children's Hour
Neely Auditorium, Vanderbilt University Campus / Vanderbilt University Theatre presents Lillian Hellman's iconic play The Children's Hour. Long before Arthur Millers The Crucible, Hellman shocked audiences with her indictment of a society which blindly swallows unsubstantiated lies and accusations. Hellmans world of 1934, although tame by contemporary standards, still resonates today, especially when compared to our mania for finger-pointing and name-calling. Hellman skillfully charts the decimation that occurs when a spoiled child accuses her teachers of forbidden acts. February 17, 18, 22, 23, 24 at 8:00 p.m. and February 19 at 2:00 p.m. All tickets are reserved seats.

Jason Aldean & Luke Bryan Tickets
Buy Jason Aldean Tickets Here!  Nashville, TN Jason Aldean with special guest Luke Bryan at the Bridgestone Arena, 501 Broadway in downtown Nashville, TN 37201 / Jason Aldean has spent more weeks at #1 on the radio charts than any other country artist in the last year. The blues-tinged licks at the end of his phrases—there's a ring of familiarity about them, but you can't really link them to another artist. The smoky guitar riffs that have become a signature—they're built on sounds that have come before, but they don't really belong to anyone else in the country genre, either. The small-town themes that pervade many of his songs—that's all been done before, but not quite with the unwavering honesty that Aldean applies to the subject. Since his 2005 debut with the scorching "Hicktown," the singer has set himself apart from the pack as a truly unique artist.
