From May 6 through October 22 (extended by popular demand) the company of the world premiere Miss Rhythm – The Legend of Ruth Brown by Sheryl McCallum and David Nehls rocked The Garner Galleria Theatre for 141 fantastic performances. The intimate cabaret experience, based on the book Miss Rhythm by Ruth Brown with Andrew Yule, explored the life and times of R&B legend Ruth Brown.

Our company and creative team were full of local talent. Here’s a few highlights:

We had an unforgettable day when Ruth Brown’s son, Ronn, and nephew, Damon, joined us for a performance. Their visit was an absolute honor, and we’re thrilled to have them be a part of this incredible journey! Check out their interview on Mid-Morning Jazz with Tree King.

O say can you see…. Here’s a look at the many performances of the “Star-Spangled Banner.”
