Broadway in Jackson issued the following statement.
As you are no doubt aware, Thalia Mara Hall has been closed due to troublesome environmental and organic concerns that have rendered the venue unsafe to host events. We have been monitoring the situation closely since early August, and unfortunately there is currently still no timeline for remediation of those concerns. As such, we must make several difficult decisions. With no other venue capable of hosting our Direct from Broadway shows in the State of Mississippi, six of our seven season events will be cancelled. We will immediately begin booking the Broadway in Jackson 2025-2026 season, but commit to only present events when we are confident that Thalia Mara Hall is safe for you, our touring artists, and theater technicians. While we are obviously disappointed by the recent problems and the lack of an expedient and thorough solution to those problems, we do have some good news to share. We are pleased to report that, with a little creativity and the cooperation of the show’s producers, we will bring some holiday cheer with Mannheim Steamroller Christmas, now scheduled to appear at the Mississippi Coliseum on Friday December 27th. As a Broadway in Jackson season ticket holder, you will receive priority access to your email to the best seats via a special presale that begins now and will end on Friday, October 18. Your commitment and investment in Broadway in Jackson has been critical to our ability to produce the series since we began in 2015. Since then, and through a global pandemic, we reciprocate that commitment by never put you and your families at risk by asking you to attend an event in a venue that is not safe. All patrons who have renewed their Season Tickets will receive a full and immediate refund to the card you used to purchase. While your refund will be instantly returned to your credit card, it may take 10-15 days for the refund to show up in your credit card statement. Thank you for your continued support, we will be in touch with you about any news on upcoming Broadway in Jackson seasons and news. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at subscribe@jacksonbroadway.com.Tuesday, October 8, 2024

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames.

Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

Please compose a musical comedy to lampoon America's singularly most inept and deceitful Mayor.
You are really pushing the envelope by booking those 2025-2026 events.
Remember, this is Jackson.
“Chokwe - The musical” is an intense drama playing out every day throughout a once great city. It features murder, despair, incompetence and of course corruption. Critics hail “ it’s so sad and pathetic that it’s almost comedy”
Great news!
Thanks, Chokwe! You are doing a great job to destroy Jackson.
Regardless of the time I blare on my horn every time I pass his house on Ridgewood.
Does the State Constitution Provide a Way to Fire an Elected Official that, well won't say Incompetence but say "In Over Their Head" and Unable to Do the Job?
Just criminal, Choke.
“The height of the ridiculous.” Mold found in TMH In August…two months later…mold still in TMH. Nothing done in TWO MONTHS. I have dealt with mold in an old house, it gets worse as time goes by.
Do you guys have any idea how long it takes to remediate a space as large as Thalia Mara? You also realize that the underlying causes of what caused the mold growth has to be fixed before remediation begins. That could mean repairing/replacing the roof, repairing plumbing leaks, fixing or replacing the HVAC, etc. Also, the city is a governmental entity and subject to many state procurement laws. Even with the use of an emergency declaration, things just take longer. And with all the underlying issues, companies have to come and inspect and write reports of what they discovered and create scopes of work. I mean, just figuring out the logistics of what order to attack the remediation and figuring out how to segregate areas of the building to prevent cross contamination takes time.
And really, how many of y’all are upset that you can’t see an off broadway presentation of Pretty Woman?
All comedy shows have been consolidated and are now located on the executive wing of city hall.
I don't think any serious person disagrees with what you wrote, 6:54. What has people stood up is what happened to Thalia Mara Hall is part of a pattern of neglect practiced by the administration. Remember the libraries? Remember not ordering electrical panels for water pumps for nine months? The administration expects us to believe the HVAC conked out during a weekend and presto, mold appeared within 42-72 hours. Um, yeah. More likely it was the HVAC ran at a reduced capacity for some time and unable to control the humidity. If the HVAC has been impaired for quite some time, why was it not repaired before it got to this point? They've been renting chillers for events so they knew.
At this point, is the destruction intentional?
If only someone had the foresight to add a surcharge to ticket sales, so that proactive preventive maintenance could've been done...(sigh).
Someone needs to do a public records request for all the maintenance and repair invoices for Thalia Mara in the last 5 years. To see if there are any responsive records.
Thanks, Kingfish, for the information in that last sentence!
Yes. (and what follows, reflects only my personal opinions) We, at this point, can safely surmise that this and similar dysfunctions, are intentional and FORMULAIC. The formula serves an END GOAL, and incorporates REWARDS for those implementing it. The End Goal seems to be supremacy for a group centered on another continent. The Reward System (grift opportunities) also tends to ensure silence and loyalty, from those implementing the weaponized incompetence.
Lackeys are paid, by being allowed to steal (with the tacit assurance that they will be shielded from serious repercussions).
Just move it out of Jackson. Maybe Madison
