In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the RMS TITANIC, the Spartanburg Little Theatre presents this engrossing and haunting Tony award winning musical that vividly depicts one of the most harrowing events in human history. Running for over 800 performances on Broadway, this is the factual story of that ship—of her officers, crew and passengers, to be sure—but the central character of our TITANIC is the TITANIC herself. (Please note: this is not a musical version of the film “Titanic” by James Cameron and does not include the characters portrayed in that film)

Green Screen 2012: Grow!

March 13^th at  7pm (doors open at 6:30)

http://www.hub-bub.com/

It’s not just ‘Old MacDonald’ on the farm anymore. All across the U.S. there is a growing movement of educated young people who are leaving the cities to take up an agrarian life. Armed with college degrees, some are unable to find jobs in the current economic slump. Fed up with corporate America and its influence on a broken food system, they aim to solve some of the current system’s inequities by growing clean, fair food. Mostly landless, they borrow, rent or manage farmland in order to fulfill their dreams of doing something meaningful with their lives.  growmovie.net
