A Southern Exposure is a comedy-drama set in a small town in 1990’s Kentucky. It is the story of Callie Belle Hurt whose idea of love is so unrealistic it could be lifted from the pages of a romance novel. Raised by Hattie, her sassy, Bible-thumping grandmother with a cast-iron will and her two eccentric aunts, Callie Belle stuns her family when she announces that she has fallen in love and is moving to New York to live with her boyfriend.

Tickets $15 adults; $12 seniors/students/military ID

Enjoy the show!
