Make history, in a unique evening of boogie woogie with Grammy-winning artist Pinetop Perkins and the Willie (Big Eyes) Smith Band, both alumna of the Muddy Waters era of blues. Perkins began playing around 1927 and is widely regarded as one of the best blues pianists, that has influenced three generations of piano players.
These artists have been featured in numerous films, from the classic “Blues Brothers” to Spike Lee’s rock-u-drama, The Perfect Age of Rock ‘n’ Roll. These living legends have collaborated through generations with everyone from Bo Diddley to B.B. King and Eric Clapton, creating iconic music reflecting the Black American Experience from the early 20th Century.
 
Pre-show begins at 7 p.m. featuring Bell County bluesman Fred Shepherd of Killeen, with moderator Al Alford (Temple College).

Watch in utter amazement as the gifted cast of improvisers creates a two-act play using the style, iambic pentameter language, and themes of the immortal Bard, William Shakespeare in an evening of off-the-cuff comedy created by the legendary theatre whose alumni include Mike Myers, Tina Fey, Chris Farley, Vince Vaughn, Amy Poehler, Neil Flynn, Adam McKay, Rachel Dratch and more. Based on one audience suggestion (a title for a play that has yet to be written).   
creates a fully improvised play in Elizabethan style likely filled with  power struggles, star-crossed lovers, sprites,kings, queens, princesses, sword-play, rhyming couplets,asides, insults, persons in disguise and all that we've come to expect from the pen of the Great Bard. The resulting original play, completely improvised on the spot, could reveal a tragedy, comedy, or history.   "This is pop Shakespeare to be sure...with heaping tablespoons of Monty Python-esque slapstick and wordplay. ...." Centerstage Chicago
