At Tyler Civic Theatre    

 Creator: Richard Maltby, Jr.
Conceived by: Bill Meade

Brought from the iconic songbook of Johnny Cash,  this unique musical about love and faith, struggle and success, rowdiness and redemption, and home and family. More than two dozen classic hits—including “I Walk The Line,” “A Boy Named Sue,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” and the title tune—performed by a multi-talented cast, paint a musical portrait of The Man in Black that promises to be a foot-stompin’, crowd-pleasin’ salute to a unique musical legend! Though he is never impersonated, Johnny Cash’s remarkable life story is told through his music, climaxing in a concert that will both move and exhilarate!  June 7- 17  click here for more info http://tylercivictheatre.com/production/2018-2019/ring-of-fire              Go you will love it!!
