Returning to the Williamson County Performing Arts Center by popular demand, the Ultimate Oldies Rock and Roll Show features a lively stage production presenting the best music of the '50s, '60s & '70s, including Rock & Roll, Doo Wop, Folk, Disco, Pop and more!

For two nights only, the Nashville Shakespeare Festival presents Abbreviated Shakespeare! Directed by Nashville Shakespeare Festival's Artistic Executive Director Denice Hicks, this event consists of five actors playing multiple roles with minimal set and props demonstrating the clarity and power of Shakespeare's poetry from three of his most popular works.

This April, the Williamson County Performing Arts Center will present the musical comedy Nunsense, the first theatrical performance produced entirely by the WCPAC. After an accidental poisoning, the Little Sisters of Hoboken are in dire need of funds to bury their dearly departed. In a frantic effort to "right their wrongs," ballet-loving Sister Mary Leo, street-wise Sister Robert Anne, befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia, the Mother Superior Sister Mary Regina, and mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert decide that the best way to raise the money is to put on a variety show. Featuring star turns, tap and ballet dancing, an audience quiz, and comic surprises, Nunsense is the perfect blithe comedy to get you back "in the habit" of live theatre! Performances will take place Friday, April 1, 2022 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, April 2, 2022 at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 3, 2022 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 for Adults, $22.50 for Seniors (55+) and $20 for Students and Children. Nunsense is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com
