SUMMARY:Special Event: Death Becomes Her
DESCRIPTION:Details: \n\n\n\nSome people will do anything to look eternally fabulous. But famous actress Madeline Ashton and her best frenemy Helen Sharp are about to go too far…thanks to a mysterious woman named Viola Van Horn and a secret potion that’s to die for. \n\n\n\nDEATH BECOMES HER is the Tony Award®-winning drop-dead hilarious new musical comedy based on the classic 1992 film with direction and choreography by Tony winner Christopher Gattelli. DEATH BECOMES HER is “a laugh-filled\, tuneful musical to die for” (Variety) and“a cheek-aching laughter roller coaster — the most fun night out!” (The Daily Beast). Experience the “savagely funny” (Time Out) pop-culture phenomenon that’s been certified “hilarious” by The New York Times\, Entertainment Weekly\, Goldie Hawn\, Beyoncé (!!) and countless fans on Instagram\, TikTok\, and beyond. \n\n\n\nThis performance will be taking place in the Andrew Jackson Hall at TPAC.  Our group has been granted a student group discounted rate for this performance. There are two ticket options available. Ticket A is located in the middle Tier or front balcony for $45 per ticket. Ticket B is located in the middle/rear Tier or middle balcony for $34 per ticket.

This production is scheduled to begin at 7:30 pm. \n\n\n\nTickets must be picked up from Will Call/Box Office with a photo I.D. ideally no later than 30 minutes before the show starts. This is a special event which means we do not meet as a group. However\, our group seats will be located in close proximity to one another. Each family that purchases tickets will indeed have seats next to each other. If multiple families are going together\, it is important that you notify Jennifer that you want tickets next to each other. \n\n\n\nPlease note: Do your own research before determining if this show is suitable for your kids\, each family is different. \n\n\n\nRSVP and payment for guaranteed seats are due by 5 pm on August 24\, 2026\, unless they sell out sooner. \n\n\n\nTickets may be able to be secured after the due date only if seats are still available.

Walk-ins or individuals who purchase tickets outside of Nashville Homeschool Calendar (contacting the venue directly) will not be accepted as part of the group. \n\n\n\nNo refunds available due to the short window of guaranteed ticket sales.

Admin fees are non-refundable. \n\n\n\nBookings open immediately for all members.

SUMMARY:Special Event: Churchill & Roosevelt
DESCRIPTION:Details: \n\n\n\nFrom the creators of Churchill comes a brand-new theatrical event that brings to life one of the most consequential meetings of the 20th century. CHURCHILL & ROOSEVELT: THE CHRISTMAS THAT SAVED THE WORLD tells the gripping story of December 1941\, when British Prime Minister Winston Churchill crossed the Atlantic to meet President Franklin D. Roosevelt at the White House—just weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor. \n\n\n\nWritten by David Payne\, this gripping drama explores how two very different leaders forged a deep personal bond and a united vision that would shape the course of the war—and the world. Set against the urgency of a global crisis\, the play brings to life the tension\, strategy\, and humanity behind their historic alliance. \n\n\n\nMore than a wartime meeting\, it was the beginning of a partnership that led to victory—and a peace that still echoes today. This is the story of the Christmas that changed everything. \n\n\n\nThis event will be taking place in the Johnson Theater at TPAC.  Our group has been granted a group discounted rate of $45 per ticket. This group pricing discount will save you money versus purchasing individually through the box office.
