March 4 “Dirty Laundry” Stage Play

7 p.m. Plaza Theatre

Written and directed by Kimberlyn M. Engram, “Dirty Laundry” is a play focused on Khia, who’s engaged to be married to her college sweetheart, Landon. Because Khia comes from a family that is more prominent than Landon’s, her dad, a District Attorney, is not happy about the wedding. Unfortunately, others in her family also have suspicions about Khia’s future husband. The plot thickens when Landon’s mother shows up one day before the wedding, and everyone seems anxious to expose secrets. With all of the pressure, the bride begins to question whether she should proceed with marrying the man of her dreams. Tickets: $25 in advance (DirtyLaundryTour.Eventbrite.com), $30 at the door.

March 5 3 Redneck Tenors

7:30 p.m. Plaza Theatre

The “infamous” 3 Redneck Tenors are back and better than ever! These boys have seen it all, sing it all, and make us laugh ’till we double over, reminding us that in life, it is not the destination, it’s the journey. Get ready for one sidesplitting ride as we go on an excursion only the 3 Redneck Tenors could have had, delighting audiences with their vocal prowess and a smorgasbord of songs and music ranging from Gospel, to Country, to Broadway, Pop and Classical.
