11/19 The Shootist @ State Theatre

A somber, elegiac farewell to the Old West, it's as much about the death of a man as it is about the death of an entire era. An aging gunfighter, dying of cancer, rides into a small town looking for a peaceful place to spend his final days — only to find his legendary reputation won't let him rest. As old enemies and opportunists circle, sensing one last chance to make a name by killing him, he's forced to decide how he wants his story to end. Tickets $6.50 + tax. Proceeds benefit HCA.
