The Winter Tour is a shorter version of our full length Ghost Walks for when the weather is cold and the wind cuts you to the bone. We preview things we are working on for the upcoming year, while not avoiding the old favorites. We explore the dark history of our churches and the hidden cemeteries, the stories of our haunted hotels and theaters, and the creepiness and insanity that has inhabited this city from its very beginning. We will teach our guests the difference in ghosts and spirits, a bit of protective Latin and will conduct a bit of ghost hunting along the way.

The Falcons host Birmingham-Southern College.

ACTA Theatre presents...Frank B. Gilbreth, Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey's "CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN"

Dramatized by Christopher Sergel
Directed by Michael R. Bridges

Efficiency engineer, Frank Gilbreth, is an unusual parent. Frank takes every opportunity, while raising his twelve children, to study motion and increase efficiency. But his unorthodox methods don’t always achieve the desired effect, as it causes continual clashes between the children and himself, not to mention the loss of several potential boyfriends. Oldest daughter, Ann rebels, but the children soon learn to appreciate all that they have.

We are very excited to take on some great teams this season including 8 teams from the 2018 Nationals as well as the defending National Champions!

The Alabama Hockey Club was founded in 2005 by University of Alabama students. The team is now in its twelfth season and plays all of its home games in Pelham, AL at the Pelham Civic Complex. The organization is managed by University of Alabama students.  The program elevated its status to ACHA Division I in 2015 and now competes at the highest level of ACHA college hockey. Alabama is one of two SEC schools to have a program competing at this level.

Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! This two-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a ridiculously talented, minimalist cast), an onstage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and some good old-fashioned romance!

From the underground clubs of 1950’s Memphis, Tennessee, comes the story of a white radio DJ wanting to change the world and a black club singer looking for her big break. Inspired by actual events and winner of the 2010 Tony Award for Best Musical, Memphis will have you bursting with laughter and brought to tears in this roof-raising, rock ‘n’ roll journey.

The Blazers host Auburn.

Come see this Alabama Premiere by internationally award-winning playwright, Audrey Cefaly! Maytag Virgin follows Alabama school teacher Lizzy Nash and her new neighbor, Jack Key, over the year following the tragic death of Lizzy's husband. The play explores the ideas of inertia and self-enlightenment, and the bridge between the two.

First, the ETC team wracks their brains with odd, amusing, and little-known facts about our 18th, 19th, and 20th Century Presidents in a special Presidents' Day version of Fact Check! Once the battle of wits is over, the facts become the basis of a stream of consciousness improvisation. Where will the oddities of our previous leaders take us?! You'll have to show up to find out!

THEN: Conspiracy Theories and Urban Legends inspire a tangled web of improvisational madness. Will there be alien abductions, strange radio reception from your tooth fillings, or that odd feeling that someone is looking at you from inside your own mirror? We certainly won't know until the audience tells us. Come laugh away the strange feeling in the back of your mind, and bring your own foil helmet!

Hosted by the Fourth Louisiana Delta Rifles.

The N-SSA promotes the competitive shooting of Civil War firearms and artillery while encouraging the preservation of battlefields, artifacts, clothing and education of the period.
