USO Show planned Nov. 21 at Palace Theatre

By Emmy Edwards / Chronicle contributor

Entertaining, upbeat, nostalgic, patriotic, and sometimes hilarious describe the new 2009 USO Show scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 21, at the historic Palace Theatre in downtown Crossville.

Fast becoming a community-wide patriotic tradition, the USO Show this year will not only transport the audience back to the 1940s’ World War II years, but will feature entertainers and events from the 1950s’ Korean War and 1960s’ Vietnam War eras.

Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Perry Como, Bette Midler, Tony Bennett, and Marty Robbins are just a few of the stars added to this year’s performances. Returning are some of the “old” favorites—Frank Sinatra, “Lucy,” Dean Martin, and Doris Day.

A few of the performers include several popular personalities in Crossville and the surrounding area: Pattie Payne, Jack Irvin, Rusty McClanahan, Carlena Hester, Rob Baker, Karen Vaden, and Teresa Wilson. Others might be your talented neighbors and friends.

Presented by The Crab-Orchard Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution, Uncle Sam’s Original Show is designed to honor and pay tribute to all our veterans who served our country so loyally during war and peacetime.

Proceeds from the show support the chapter’s historic preservation, education, and patriotic activities in the community, including the Cumberland County Veterans’ Emergency Fund, established two years ago by the DAR Chapter and administered by the Cumberland County Veterans Service Office. The DAR Chapter’s Service for Veterans Committee was also instrumental in documenting the original need for a county-funded Veterans Service Office in Cumberland County.

This year’s show will include two performances on Saturday, Nov. 21, a 2 p.m. matinee and a 6 p.m. evening performance. Reserved-seat tickets are $10 and may be purchased at the Palace Theatre, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

Last year’s performances were both sold out, so show your patriotic spirit and get ready for a fun and exciting USO Show by purchasing your tickets early. Tickets are available now at the Palace Theatre.
