Free ‘community care’ tickets to ‘Dearly Departed’

Tennessee Valley Theatre, 184 W. Jackson Ave., in Spring City, Tenn., is offering free admission on select nights for its current production, “Dearly Departed,” to those adversely affected during last month’s tornado outbreak.

“Fortunately, TVT did not suffer any physical damage during the recent storms,” said spokesman James C. Beam in a news release. “However, our communities suffered considerable damage that will take time to recover. Now is the time to pull together.”

Those who suffered damage during the storms or were volunteer workers in the cleanup effort are invited to attend tonight’s 7:30 show or Sunday’s 2 p.m. matinee for free. The production is a comedy about a family in the backwoods Bible Belt trying to pull together for a funeral.

Those who wish to attend must call 423-365-PLAY to make a reservation.

Tickets are regularly $8. Tickets to Saturday’s dinner show at 6:30 p.m. are also available for $18.
