The Larry Keeton Theatre, 108 Donelson Pike. East versus West makes for a dramatic, richly textured and ultimately uplifting tale of enormous fascination. It is 1862 in Siam when an English widow, Anna Leonowens, and her young son arrive at the Royal Palace in Bangkok, having been summoned by the King to serve as tutor to his many children and wives. The King is largely considered to be a barbarian by those in the West, and he seeks Anna's assistance in changing his image, if not his ways. With both keeping a firm grip on their respective traditions and values, Anna and the King grow to understand and eventually respect one another. Along with the dazzling score, the incomparable Jerome Robbins ballet, 'The Small House of Uncle Thomas,' is a beautiful and thought-provoking Eastern interpretation of a Western tale. Performances are Thursday - Saturday at 7:00p.m. and Sunday at 2:00p.m. and include a three course meal starting at 6:00p.m. for evening shows and 1:00p.m. for Sunday matinées. Tickets are $27 for adults for dinner and a show; $22 show only; $18 for children or $13 for children for show only.

August 3, 6, 10, 13 and 20 – The Doyle and Debbie Show Zanies Comedy Club, 2025 8th Ave. S. Voted "Best Original Music" by The Nashville Scene, The Doyle

and Debbie Show is a satirical love letter to the country music community and its stars. Not only is the script hysterical, but so are the finely-crafted country songs, such as Whine Whine Twang Twang and Fat Women in Trailers. And the two stars, Bruce Arntson and Jenny Littleton, have the acting and singing chops to make you believe they really are a country music duo. Tickets are $20 and a two order minimum. Call 615-269-0221 or see zanies.com for reservations. For more information and to hear songs, visit doyleanddebbie.com.

August 3 and 10 – The Ugly Duckling Belcourt Theatre, 2102 Belcourt Ave. A familyfriendly show for all ages, Hans Christian Anderson's tale of the difficulties of childhood and the possibilities of transformation is brought to life beautifully by Olde Worlde Theatre Company. Using storytelling, whimsical costumes, graceful movement, comic twists, pantomime and the magic of live theater, the story of the duck who blossomed into a swan will make an impression on the entire family. Performances are at 10:00a.m., with general admission tickets selling for $8. For information and tickets, call (615) 300-0374 or see the websites at oldeworldetheatre.com or belcourt.org.

August 8-10 – Les Miserables Boiler Room Theatre, The Factory at Franklin, 230 Franklin Rd., Liberty Hall. One of the most popular musicals in the world based on Victor Hugo's classic novel, Les Misérables tells the story of former convict Jean Valjean and his quest for redemption while being hounded by the relentless inspector Javert in 19th century France. It also paints a picture of a life lost to blinding obsession, as Javert devotes his life to capturing the escaped Valjean, a man arrested initially for a petty crime. Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, Les Misérables is epic and engrossing, with a powerful score that includes the beloved songs I Dreamed a Dream, On My Own, Bring Him Home and the stirring One Day More. For this large-scale benefit, the Boiler Room Theatre is venturing outside of its familiar 120-seat performance space and will stage Les Misérables in the much larger Liberty Hall venue, also located at The Factory at Franklin. Performances are 8:00p.m.

August 8 - 10. Ticket prices will range from $29 - $99 and may be purchased by calling the Boiler Room Theatre at (615) 794-7744 or ordering online at www.boilerroomtheatre.com. Box office hours are 11:00a.m. - 5:00p.m. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
