Clayton Center presents Southern Fried Chicks featuring Etta May | Comedy ShowClayton Center for the Arts, Ronald and Lynda Nutt Theatre The Southern Fried Chicks tour is a combination of three very different women; all from the South, and their hilarious take on life, love and the pursuit of happiness. It's an impressive roster of female comics that are top headliners in the nation. It's where the "New South," the "Old South," and the "Deep South" come together for an evening of clean, clever story telling for every generation. Life and love in the USA has never been funnier as when the original "desperate housewives" give their points of view, and you'll leave the theatre wiping your eyes, holding your sides and waiting for your next helping of the Southern Fried Chicks! For tickets, contact the Clayton Center Box Office at 865.981.8590. |
