“Moonlight and Magnolias”

The Natchez Little Theatre will have performances starting today and ending Sunday for “Moonlight and Magnolias.”

The play is set in 1939 as Hollywood producer David O. Selznick has shut down the screen adaptation of “Gone with the Wind,” as the screenplay just does not work. Selznick sends for a director and writer and the three lock themselves up in his office and work to complete the screenplay.

Tickets cost $15. Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday with a 2 p.m. matinee performance Sunday. The theater is located at 319 Linton Ave.

For more information, contact the theater at 1-877-440-2233.

Legends and Lore

The Natchez Tricentennial Legends and Lore series will continue at 5:30 p.m. Monday with Historic Natchez Foundation Deputy Director Trevor Brown’s presentation on Natchez architecture at The Hotel Vue.
