An All-American love triangle featuring strippers, adultery, hysterical pregnancy, roadkill, toll-collecting, and disco! Follow the Greek-chorus-eque trio of trailer park ladies who help guide the story, changing characters as fast as you can say, “spray cheese”, and confronting the audience with their dirty laundry. The result is a hilarious recipe of redneck hilarity, box wine, and unforgettable sass. It’s more fun than a chair-throwing episode of Jerry Springer set to music!

Live Music is Better - Michelle Malone
2024-05-04 19:30 - 21:30 | Blue Ridge Community Theater, 2591 East Main Street, Blue Ridge, GA, 30513, United States
Nashville sensation MICHELLE MALONE has been called, “Equal parts badass guitar slinger and sweet songstress, with masterful lyrical introspection – sublime to raucous” by Guitar World. Nashville Rage said Michelle, “has the soul of a bluesman, the heart of a folk singer, and the guts of a rock and roll star wrapped up in one fiery bad ass.” Her musical roots run deep and wide like the mighty Mississippi, twisting and turning through rock, blues, and alt-country music territory.
Over the course of Malone’s career, she has shared stages with artists from Gregg Allman to Indigo Girls, Sugarland’s Kristian Bush to Brandi Carlisle, Mississippi All-Stars Luther Dickenson to ZZ Top. She has released more than a dozen records, and her powerful live show will take you on a journey from red dirt back roads to bright city lights, whether she’s solo acoustic in a living room concert or a big arena backed by her band.

Blue Ridge Community Theater: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Sunday at 2:00 pm
After being convicted of a petty crime, a charming rebel named McMurphy contrives to serve his short sentence in a minimum security mental institution rather than in a prison. This, he soon learns, was a mistake. He immediately clashes with the authoritarian head nurse, a fierce taskmaster named Nurse Ratched. Despite her strict reign, McMurphy quickly takes over the patients, leading them out of introversion into revolt, swapping beds for baseball, pills for parties, and guards for girls. But McMurphy’s brash insubordination has its consequences, leading to the unforgettable, electrifying ending.

Spring Lake Cleanup
2024-05-17 12:00 - 15:00 | Morganton Point Recreation area, 475 Lake Dr, Morganton, GA, 30560, United States
3 Week Spring Lake Cleanup!
We will create a “corral” made from boat fenders near Morganton Point so that you can gather and drop off loose floating debris on the lake. We plan to have the corral set up by April 21.
NOTE: Our lake cleanup is designed for lake debris, NOT household or personal debris or trash. No dock remnants will be accepted.
The dates for this year are:
April 21 – May 18
From April 21 to May 18, participants are encouraged to work independently whenever they wish. All trash should be taken to the Morganton Point boat ramp as we have done in the past. A corral will be constructed adjacent to the ramp and all floating trash should be deposited inside the corral to insure it does not float away. Bags of trash may be placed on the shoreline to insure they do not float away.

On Friday, May 17 from noon – 3:00 pm at the Morganton Point boat ramp we need volunteers to help move accumulated debris from the corral to the front loader and dumpsters. On Saturday, May 18, all participants are asked to gather at the Morganton Point boat ramp at 9:00 amfor a quick meeting and lake area assignments.
We will have industrial dumpsters available as well as a front end loader to lift and load all accumulated trash into the dumpsters.
