'One Foot in Heaven'
From the event description:
This October, MoezArt Productions will be presenting the classic story "One Foot in Heaven," based on the movie of the same name that was nominated for an Academy Award in 1941. We'll step into a rundown parsonage with Reverend Spence and his family when they arrive in a new town to revitalize the local church. It takes courage, tact and a lot of love to tackle the dismal choir, racism, a crumbling church building and the gossip that awaits them. But humor, courage and love go a long way, and the reverend goes to work to create unity, a new choir and church building, and to save the parsonage from falling down.
When: Friday, Oct. 25, 7 p.m.
Where: Meadows Baptist Church, 3701 W. Beardsley Road
Price: $7.50

'Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson'
From the event description:
"Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" follows America's seventh president from his early days as a child on the wild frontier to his controversial reign in the White House. With the country divided into rich and poor (and with continued skirmishes with the Native Americans upsetting pieces of the new world), Jackson begins his steady climb from military strategist to populist rabble-rouser to President of the United States. Along the way, he meets his wife, Rachel, takes on the Founding Fathers – and rocks like no political figure has ever rocked before, with the help of an onstage trio and an entourage of singing, joking cohorts.
When: Friday, Oct. 25, 7:30 p.m.
Where: Phoenix Center for the Arts, 1202 N. Third St.
