ZOO KNOXVILLE OFFERS $5 OFF WINTER ADMISSION
Kroger Discount Days offered December 1 through February 29, 2020

Many animals, including red pandas, river otters, elephants, gorillas, red wolves, lions and tigers, enjoy the cooler temperatures. On days when the temperature drops below 40 degrees, some animals will be moved indoors, but visitors can still see most in their indoor viewing areas.

Discounted tickets can be purchased at the zoo ticket window during regular zoo hours and online at zooknoxville.org. Discounted admission tickets must be used by Feb. 29, 2020, and cannot be combined with any other promotion, discount, or coupon.

SCROOGE IN ROUGE by Graham, Roberson, Hargis and Turner

WHAT THE DICKENS? A Christmas Carol like you’ve never seen before! Scrooge in Rouge is definitely not your average treacly holiday show...think more like Monty Python meets Benny Hill. This quick-change, cross-dressing version of the Charles Dickens classic is set in a Victorian music hall. The Royal Music Hall Twenty-Member Variety Players are beset with a widespread case of food poisoning. This leaves only three surviving members to soldier on through a performance of A Christmas Carol. The undaunted trio gamely face missed cues, ill-fitting costumes, and solving the problem of having no one to play Tiny Tim. Done in the style of British Music Hall, Scrooge in Rouge abounds in bad puns, witty songs, bawdy malapropisms, and naughty double-entendres. A raucous holiday treat! The show is directed by Flying Anvil artistic director Jayne Morgan, with musical direction by Paul Jones. Rounding out the cast are Jessica Magers-Rankin, Jacques DuRand, and Andrew Carlile.

Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 pm; Sundays at 2 pm.
One Pay-What-You-Can preview on Wednesday, November 20 at 7:30 pm.

TICKET PRICES: Thu & Sun $22 (or $10 for students with ID); Fri & Sat $24 (or $10 for students with ID). The Opening Night Gala on November 22 is $32 (or $20 for students with ID). Tickets: https://www.ticketpeak.com/res/FlyingAnvil
