#6 Fox Theater “Memphis”
Friday, April 17, 2015
IMPORTANT REMINDER
This is a reminder that the time
schedule for the trips are leaving
times and not boarding times. Please
be there at least 15 minutes prior to
leaving. We WILL NOT be calling
you to see where you are. If you are
late, we will be forced to leave you

Memphis has been lauded as the perfect
musical with original songs, a touching
story, with heart and comedy and highenergy dance numbers that bring the underground R&B clubs of 1950's Memphis to life. Memphis explores the beginning of the civil rights movements
and the struggle against racial prejudice
and ambitions careers, set to songs that
are already modern classics!
