Oak Grove Theater continues its summer season with "Terms of Endearment":

A Play by Dan Gordon Based on the novel by Pulitzer Prize-winner Larry McMurtry and the Oscar-winning screenplay by James L. Brooks

Experience the “funny and touching” masterpiece that captured the world’s heart on the silver screen. Terms of Endearment follows the life-long, whirlwind relationship between the formidable, highly opinionated Aurora Greenway and her spirited daughter, Emma. From Aurora’s unexpected late-life romance with a retired astronaut to Emma’s resilience through a troubled marriage, this story beautifully captures the delicate, sometimes fractured bonds between mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, and lovers both old and new. Based on the film starring Shirley MacLaine, this adaptation explores how we find the courage to face life’s greatest challenges in the people we love most.

Join us for live theater outdoors under the stars at beautiful Oak Grove Theater; performances begin at 8:45pm sharp, but attendees are welcome to come early and encouraged to bring a picnic and enjoy the grounds. Oak Grove Theater sells tickets for the season - one season ticket purchase allows you to see each show once; tickets for a single performance are not available.

On Carter’s forthcoming solo album, Lowdown Hoedown, listeners may recognize instrumental contributions from such legends as Jerry Douglas or Sam Bush alongside vocals from young trailblazers like Sarah Jarosz or Billy Strings.
