The Spirit of America
Meant to celebrate the history of our nation and honor our heritage, The Spirit of America is a community show fundraiser benefiting the American Cancer Society Relay for Life in Sevier County, TN. The show, put on at The Smoky Mountain Opry Theatre, will be a musical hosted by the Smoky Mountain Christian Village. Each ticket sale is considered a donation, so proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society Relay for Life of Sevier County.
Adult tickets are $10, while child tickets (under 13) are just $5! You can also purchase a VIP package for $25 which entitles you to: preferred theater seating and a pre-show reception including light hors d’oeuvres and a photo with “Challenger,” the Ambassador for the American Eagle Foundation. The VIP sessions start 45 minutes before show time. Show times are March 30th, 2014, at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. You can purchase tickets on the official website. There are no hidden fees, and when you attend this event you are not only having fun, but also helping others!
