On January 26th, 1979, “The Dukes of Hazzard” premiered on CBS-Television as an unheralded mid-season replacement. Now, 40 years later, the cast and fans of the show will join together in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday, January 26, 2019 to celebrate “40 years of good times in Hazzard County”. Several events are planned, centered around “Cooter’s in Music City”, on McGavock Pike off Briley Parkway.
The event will include “Meet and Greet plus pix and Autograph sessions” with cast members, a screening of the very first “Dukes” episode at The Troubadour Theatre, followed by a cast concert at The Nashville Palace, with Cooter’s Garage Band and very special guest Whey Jennings, the grandson of Waylon Jennings, who narrated “The Dukes” and wrote and sang the ever popular theme song, “Good Ol’ Boys”.

Shrews News!
Streaming from the Island soon!
The Return of the Killer Shrews will be released to the streaming world on October 26th, 2018 - HOWEVER as of today you can pre-order the film on iTunes!
A TV Reality show hires CAPTAIN THORNE SHERMAN (James Best) and his boat to cargo supplies to the deserted offshore island they’re using as a filming location. Thorne would have refused the job because he’s been to that island before and still sees it in his nightmares. So they set sail – to a place Thorne Sherman never wanted to see again as long as he lived: the island of the KILLER SHREWS.
As the TV crew and two-fisted animal expert JOHNNY RENO (John Schneider) shoot their reality show, some of the cast and crew go missing, attacked and eaten in a bloody feeding frenzy by strange creatures. Only cute young camera operator MICKEY (Jennifer Lyons) and her on-again off-again boyfriend SAM (Jason Shane Scott) grow concerned about their vanished friends. And Captain Thorne grows uneasy. Only he knows the island holds hidden danger. The place is crawling with giant Killer Shrews, the result
of a 50 year old experiment gone terribly wrong.
No one is prepared when the Killer Shrews attack, devouring everything in their path! Thorne moves the panicked and blood-spattered survivors to a safe house – the same scientific compound where the man- eating shrews were spawned half a century ago. Everyone is grateful, but creeping suspicion grows. How does Thorne know about this place? And what is his connection to the Killer Shrews?
But these questions can wait. The Shrews are fast and ferocious, able to strip flesh from their screaming victims in seconds. And they are ready to attack – now! Soon, more crew members fall prey to the creatures’ ravenous, slathering jaws. To make matters worse, JERRY (Bruce Davison), a mysterious castaway, stalks the survivors. Jerry has a strange hold over the ravenous Killer Shrews, and at times, he can control the monsters.
Thorne and Jerry share a strange history, a past linked to the horrific, flesh-eating Shrews. Now Jerry is targeting Thorne for bloody vengeance, and no one is safe from the dangerously insane castaway. Fleeing the relentless, carnivorous Shrews, Mickey takes refuge in a cave. But her safe haven turns to shocking horror when Mickey is trapped by Jerry. Sam braves the hordes of flash-eating monsters to rescue Mickey from the madman’s lair, but Jerry gets the upper hand. On this island, it’s eat or be eaten, and Jerry decides who is hunter and who is prey.
As the number of survivors dwindle they must overcome their differences to avoid getting eaten alive. But before Thorne can get off the island he must face his horrific past – and a final showdown with Jerry. Time is running out for the survivors to get off the island before the voracious monsters turn them all into bloody Shrew bait.

Dorothy Best wins Best Character Actress Award
Dorothy Best was recently awarded Best Character Actress at The Hickory Community Theatre for her role as the Italian Crazy Lady Maria Morelli from "Lend Me a Tenor".
Many thanks to a marvelous cast and to Director Rick Seay, and to of course all the audience members who voted for Dorothy!
Hickory Community Theater
From that simple beginning, The Hickory Community Theatre has grown in both success and popularity. The Theatre has always been located in the Old City Hall, and the staff members and volunteers reverently refer to the “jail” (now the scenic shop) and the “firemen’s kitchen”, both of which are still nicknamed after their original functions. A massive renovation effort during the three year-period from 1984-1987 updated the theatre’s auditorium, stage, lobby, dressing rooms and technical facilities.
