WHEN WORDS FAIL- MUSIC SPEAKS: TWO BIG EVENTS COMING!

Elvis will be in the building at Plumb Theatre May 20. Also, tickets will go on sale that same night for our Gospel Fest with headliner Jason Crabb.

The fest will be Sept. 29 and 30 with Jason being here on the 30th. We just have so many tickets, so don’t wait. Your armband is good for both nights.

May 20 will be our 1950’s music night. Donate $10 for the Gospel Fest and you get all of this – hot dogs, chips and a Coke – and the show with Elvis.

Come dressed in your best 1950’s outfit and if you win BEST DRESSED, you win a gift card for dinner for two at Dobbers Restaurant.

Don’t forget, Elvis will be here all evening. What a deal!

We have shows every Friday and Saturday night with Paul Maloy, Mattie Maloy, Jody Green and Cookie Eller.

Doors open at 6 p.m. – show starts at 7 p.m. Family Friendly! Location: 16505 SH 9E Eufaula (Longtown). Call 918-360-9329 or 918-452-2020 for any questions.
