Appalachian Allies: A Benefit for East Tennessee Hurricane Relief

Join us for a night of unforgettable music and community spirit as we come together to support hurricane relief efforts in East Tennessee. The Appalachian Allies Benefit Concert will take place on Sunday, October 27, 2024 at 6:30pm, at the historic Bijou Theatre, and will feature an extraordinary lineup of acclaimed artists, including:

• Adeem The Artist

• Andy Wood

• Darrell Scott

• Jerry Douglas

• Larkin Poe

• R.B. Morris

• Sarah Jarosz

Hosted by Daniel Kimbro and Sam Lewis, this benefit concert is a celebration of the resilience and strength of the Appalachian community. All proceeds from the event will directly support the East Tennessee Foundation's Hurricane Helene Disaster Relief Fund, providing vital assistance for both immediate and long-term recovery efforts in the region.

In addition to enjoying a night of incredible live performances, your attendance will contribute to the rebuilding and restoration of communities across 25 counties in East Tennessee affected by Hurricane Helene. The East Tennessee Foundation (ETF), a nationally accredited community foundation, is leading the charge in recovery efforts, helping to provide critical support to those in need.

This concert is expected to sell out quickly, so don’t wait! Secure your seat today and be a part of this meaningful cause. More Info

"How to Defend Yourself" by Liliana Padilla at Clarence Brown Theatre

Clarence Brown Theatre presents How to Defend Yourself, a powerful and timely play by Liliana Padilla, running from October 23 to November 10, 2024. This sharp, witty, and emotionally charged production centers around a group of college students who come together for a DIY self-defense workshop after a sorority sister is assaulted.

Through humor and ferocity, the play explores the complexities of trauma, healing, and empowerment. As the characters work through their rage, confusion, anxiety, and desire, the workshop becomes more than just a way to learn physical self-defense—it becomes a space for reclaiming their sense of agency and belonging. How to Defend Yourself delves into how sexual assault disrupts lives and relationships, and the challenging process of finding strength and solidarity in its aftermath.

With its unflinching portrayal of trauma and resilience, Padilla’s play offers audiences an opportunity to reflect on the personal and societal impacts of sexual violence while spotlighting the importance of self-defense, both physical and emotional.

Don’t miss this thought-provoking and impactful production. It’s a story of survival, empowerment, and the journey to reclaim what’s been lost. More Info
