Hi everybody!

Well, we're hoping to announce our next show in the next week or two - but in the meantime, your extemporaneous artisans are keeping the laughter going throughout town!  This Friday, for example, you can catch the Fresh Ground Comics with ETC's Christopher Davis!

Good comedy, delicious wines, tasty beers and the finest bottle water this side of Niagara Falls!

That’s what you’ll find at Safari Coffee Cup this Friday night! Guess my weight, and I’ll buy you a beer. Guess my level of tolerance for pain and I’ll let you punch me in the face. Everybody wins!

THE 13TH FRIDAY:
READY, SET, DIE!

OR VISIT: www.theatredowntown.com

What if the characters from "Rent" all worked at a Summer camp when they were younger?  What if that same camp was home to a psychotic serial killer hellbent on keeping his tradition of death alive?  So goes "The 13th Friday", a parody of those cheesy slasher films from the 70's and 80's, films like "Friday the 13th" and "My Bloody Valentine'.  Eight counselors arrive at Camp Crystal Meth(odist) for their annual training weekend, but start getting picked off, one at a time.  Will Mark, Roger, Benny, Tom, Maureen, Joann, Mimi and Angel survive the weekend?  Will Rhonda the Botanist find that missing finger?  Will Cook control his anger management long enough to keep his tater tots from burning away into a fragile ash?  Find these answers, and more, at the most adventurous comedy  to ever come out of Alabama!

Running October 9-25, 2008, with performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00 PM, with one midnight performance Saturday the 18th at 11:59 PM.  Tickets are $17.00 for adults and $12.00 for seniors and students with the proper ID.  Thursday nights and the midnight performance are HOBO NIGHTS, meaning you pay what you can with a $5.00 minimum.  To order tickets, call (205) 306-1470 or you can order them online at:  www.theatredowntown.com.
