If you enjoy the arts at all then you probably know the University of Tennessee is well endowed with talent. With master choir ensembles to the Oscar producing theater program, Tennessee has great entertainment options that, for a student, or even a seasoned arts lover, is very affordable for high-quality acts.
I recently went to the Clarence Brown Theater to see King Charles III. The play acted out a possible future scenario where if the current Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II, died and her son Charles took the throne.
Full of drama, romance, ghosts and politics, the play did not disappoint. Being a history buff and person who is very much into theater, this play was perfect. The cast was also phenomenal. While Clarence Brown Theater is on UT’s campus, it still provides seasoned actors in its roles. Meaning students are not the majority of the cast but sometimes given minor roles.
For this particular play, it was AMAZING how hard the costume designer and makeup artists worked to make the actors look like the royal family. Everyone was the exact spitting image of their role, except for William (who in my opinion was always the better-looking brother).
Since I don’t want to tell too much about the production I will give away no more hints but still encourage you go see the show! This particular play lasts until February 26, before the next show, Detroit, starts.
If you are a student, tickets to any show at the Clarence Brown Theater is $5. If you are a staff or faculty member, shows are $28, and all other tickets range from $18-$35, a steal if you ask me! To purchase tickets just head to the Clarence Brown Theater website or give them a call to reserve them.
