I loved the one last year but have to admit my BBQ heart is stuck in the giant Owensboro BBQ festival. Forgive me Smyrna.

This week it came to my attention by way of one of the DNJ's new blogs by Taylor Loyal that the Lamplighter's Theatre is going to be putting on a play that deals with a small and mostly unknown piece of American history.

Next weekend (June 12 - 15), there's going to be a great play in Lamplighter's Black Box Theatre -- a smaller room upstairs that features more personal productions.

The play is called The Andersonville Trials. It's a historical courtroom drama about the only soldier in the Civil War to be tried of war crimes, convicted and hanged.

The director, Mike Parker, is a veteran. He told me the play is designed to be entertaining, but also to raise some ethical questions.

More can be read on Andersonville here.

Well that is a basic roundup of what is happening in Smyrna this week.
