A Vote of Her Own – The Musical
A new musical with songs by Candace Corrigan and Janne Henshaw, and a book by Candace Corrigan offers the story of the final campaign to pass a federal amendment to the U.S. Constitution giving women the right to vote. “It is a story packed with political intrigue, prejudice against women and comical legislative debates that may seem inexplicable to modern audiences.”
Saturday, August 20, 8:00 PM (Doors at 7:00 PM)
Bijou Theatre, 803 S. Gay Street, Downtown Knoxville

Marble City Opera – I Can’t Breathe at Central Cinema
The filmed version of Marble City Opera’s 2022 world premiere of I Can’t Breathe by Leslie Burrs & Brandon J. Gibson.
“I Can’t Breathe” is an opera that explores themes of grief, loss, love, identity, and hope. It was inspired by and written in the wake of repeated instances of fatal police brutality perpetrated against African Americans in Spring 2020. Through the course of the opera, we meet six fictional characters, each named for a different archetype. In one way or another, each of their lives is forever changed by interactions with law enforcement that go tragically wrong. Through a series of vignettes, the opera seeks to answer the question, “How many more”?
