An exciting collection of writers, musicians, singers and other artists (including some of NCT's own!) have choosen their favorite works from SHEL SILVERSTEIN - poems, stories and songs - and will perform them in their own way.

Shel Silverstein is best known as an author and illustrator of children's poems, but he also wrote nearly 800 songs for the adult market. Nashville was an essential locale in Shel's songwriting. It was here that he became friends with Nashville legends like Bobby Bare, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Harlan Howard, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson.

Some highlights of Shel's catalog include: "Boy Named Sue", "The Cover of Rolling Stone", "Daddy, What if?", and "Marie Laveau". Because of Shel Silverstein's Nashville roots, along with his timeless children's poems, this is a perfect fit for our community to come together and benefit Nashville Children's Theatre.

Performers:
Mayor Karl Dean, John Seigenthaler,
Bobby Bare, Bobby Bare, Jr. & Family, Marcus Hummon,
Clementyne Howard, Marshall Chapman,
Amy Nelson & Family, Shooter Jennings, Chris Scruggs
and other surprises.

Joining this collection of performers are some of Nashville (and NCT's) finest actors:
Jeff Boyet, Rona Carter, Henry Haggard, Jenny Littleton, Marin Miller,
Eric D. Pasto-Crosby, Jon Royal, Patricia Taber, Patrick Waller and Samuel Whited
plus NCT Producing Director Scot Copeland

Proceeds support the Betty Witherspoon Scholarship Fund.
