Each ticket includes our signature award-winning mystery dinner theatre show, along with a full plated dinner, waitstaff gratuity, and plenty of surprises during the show.

Marble City Opera will present the Tennessee premiere of dwb (driving while black) on October 11 and 12, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. in the Old City Performing Arts Center, 111 State Street, Knoxville. Tickets are available at MarbleCityOpera.com/tickets

dwb (driving while black) is a one-act, one-woman opera that was composed in 2018 by Susan Kander with a libretto by Roberta Gumbel. The main character is a mother contemplating the dangerous world beyond a parent’s control as her son reaches driving age.

The role of the mother will be sung by soprano Allison Sanders. Cremaine Booker will be the music director and play cello. David Verin will play percussion. Sanders, Booker and Verin performed dwb (driving while black) together at Opera Birmingham in 2023. The stage director will be Ivan Griffin, who also directed Marble City Opera’s production of The Christmas Spider in January.

Marble City Opera brings world class singers, directors, and conductors to the stage while maintaining a dedication to creating opportunities for local, regional, and emerging artists. Marble City Opera is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with strong community ties and connections to other organizations, businesses, schools, and artists within Knoxville, and the East Tennessee community.

Come down to the Knoxville Visitors' Center, 301 S. Gay St., Knoxville TN, on the second Sunday of every month, from 1:30 p.m. till 3:30 p.m. and join your voice with ours. We will feature songs of comfort and healing that lend themselves to group harmony singing rather than individual performance.

Since 1981, Cecelia Condit’s videos have created heroines whose lives swing between beauty and the grotesque, innocence and cruelty, youth and fragility. Her work puts a subversive spin on the traditional mythology of women in film and the psychology of sexuality and violence. Exploring the dark side of female subjectivity, her “feminist fairy tales” focus on friendships, age, and the natural world.
