We'll Meet Again

At 7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 21, 2023, come see the American musical 'We'll Meet Again', sponsored by Coach Bruce and Brandy Pearl, with musical arrangements by Mark Hayes and directed by Richard Rose. After sixty-seven years, life is about to come full circle for Henry Stern. Born in Westheim, Germany in 1932, Heinz (Henry) was five years old when his Jewish family escaped to America. They were welcomed with open arms to the small town of Opelika, Alabama, but the war left some missing pieces for Henry. 'We'll Meet Again' is a life-affirming story inspired by the real life of Heinz Stern, told with humor and seasoned with the most popular music of the era. It's uniquely entertaining, uplifting and edifying, "a great beam of light shining on the beauty and potential of the American spirit."

William Lee Golden and the Goldens

Join William Lee Golden and the Goldens at 7 p.m., Monday, Nov. 13, 2023 for a night of great harmony and down home music that tugs at the heart strings of southerners.
