Four former "Jeopardy!" champions meet for a weekend to prepare for the Tournament of Champions. When the front-runner is murdered, it becomes a game of cat and mouse between three brainiacs and a wily detective. Comedy, clues and surprises await.
Friday and Saturday shows are at 7:30 p.m., while the Sunday matinee is at 2 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the door, but performances sell out fast, so it is recommended that you purchase your tickets online.
- Northwest GeorgiaArt Exhibit
The Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum will open three exhibits that will run from April 15 through July 12. Each of these unique exhibits will take a different approach to reimaging textile art forms.
The Hubbard Gallery will display Korhogo of West Africa Textiles collected by Beth Ann St. George. Korhogo cloth is a West African textile made by hand painting designs on hand woven and hand spun cotton fabric. The paintings are done using a specially fermented mud-based and natural vegetal pigment that darkens over time. Beth Ann St. George is a Folk Artist, who uses Korhogo cloth as central pieces of her modern textile art. She uses these pieces to educate people about the meanings of the symbols of the Korhogo cloth.
Myrtie Cope’s embroidered photographs entitled Nature Embroidered will be on display in Gallery II.
As a quilter and photographer, Myrtie Cope has found ways to incorporate photography into quilting and embroidery. Her embroidery adds texture and interest to landscapes and nature photos and, on some photos, creates an abstract image. In addition to the ongoing exhibit, the public is welcome to meet Cope and learn more about her work on Saturday, April 26, starting at 2 p.m., with brief artist remarks at 2:30 p.m.
Great Depression Quilts from the permanent collection of the Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum will be on display in Gallery III. Each of the quilts on display will provide a different look into the times and lives of people who lived and quilted during the Great Depression.
Along with these unique exhibits SQTM will offer a variety of community programming and classes. A full list of upcoming classes and programs can be found at sqtmuseum.org/events.

Written by: Roald Dahl
Based on the book by: Dennis Kelly
With Music and Lyrics by Tim Minchin
Directed by: Elizabeth MurphyInspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life.
Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her school teacher Miss Honey. During her first term at school, the two forge a bond as Miss Honey begins to recognize and appreciate Matilda's extraordinary personality. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however. The school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves to punish those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace!

Developed in collaboration with the Georgia Writers Museum, the upcoming will feature the art of painter Raven Waters, potter Senora Lynch (Haliwa-Saponi Tribe) and Steffen Thomas.
This environmentally-focused exhibition will explore, with artists and writers and audience, our place in the natural world: do we exist as a part of nature? Or outside of nature, experiencing the environment as a tourist or a consumer?
The title is a play on the internet phrase “touch grass” or “go touch some grass” that is said as a criticism to someone that they have been online too much and are disconnected from reality/the real world.
The museum is open Tuesday-Friday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
