Clarence Brown Theatre joins us with a preview of the new musical “Knoxville.”

Based on James Agee’s autobiographical, Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece ‘A Death in the Family’, this moving and innovative new musical reunites the dynamic Tony Award®-winning creative team behind ‘Ragtime’. The story begins as an adult Agee struggles to write his greatest work about the event that touched his young life and the effect it had on his family and his future. ‘Knoxville’ is a universal coming-of-age story about family, faith, and love—and about the boy who will grow up to write it. With a sweeping musical score and brilliant cast, this is a must-see event.
