Two of William Renzulli’s life-long passions have been art and model railroading. His upcoming exhibit, aptly titled The Art of Model Railroading, brings these worlds together for the first time with a series of drawings and paintings inspired by two model railroads: his, and that of his dear friend, Allan Rhodes. The work will be offered for sale at the Art Guild of Paducah during the month of September, with an opening reception on Friday, September 4th, 5-7PM. All are welcome.

Welcome to opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award–winning comedy is a global phenomenon that’s guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!
