The story of a time in America when music brought people together — and changed the world! 

From the underground dance clubs of Memphis, Tennessee during the 1950’s comes the Tony- and Olivier Award-winning musical that bursts off the stage with explosive dancing, irresistible songs and a thrilling tale of fame and forbidden love. Memphis is about a white radio DJ in the 1950’s who wants to change the world and a black club singer who is ready for her big break. Come along on their incredible journey to the ends of the airwaves — filled with laughter, soaring emotion, and roof-raising rock ‘n’ roll.  Winner of four 2010 Tony Awards including Best Musical and two 2015 Olivier Awards, Memphis features a Tony-winning book by Joe DiPietro and a Tony-winning original score with music by Bon Jovi founding member David Bryan.

Memphis runs February 20^th through March 8^th in our Founders Theater.  Show times are Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. There is also one morning performance on Tuesday, March 3^rd at 10:00 a.m. Tickets are $11 -$27 and can be purchased by calling 330-836-2626 or by visiting www.weathervaneplayhouse.com (Standard ticketing fees apply).
