In a Nutshell

Theater company in its 36th season puts on musical drama-comedies; vaudeville-style revues and wacky holiday merriment

The Fine Print

Metaphors for laughter are often surprisingly violent, from busting a gut to splitting your sides to tumbling down the jagged face of Joke Mountain. Break a funny bone with this GrouponLive deal to see a 2012 season show at Sweet Fanny Adams in Gatlinburg. Choose between the following options:

  • For $24, you get two tickets (up to a $48.60 value, including all fees).

All shows begin at 8 p.m. View the full schedule here.

Theatergoers looking for a dose of nostalgia feel right at home at Sweet Fanny Adams, which has been staging shows since 1977 and boasts a façade that resembles a classic vaudeville venue, a nostalgic box office, and a big-wheeled penny-farthing bicycle parked out front. Inside, the cast puts on alternating runs of their madcap original shows, such as The Incredible Adventures of Mary Bright (May 1–November 17), a musical comedy steeped in the aesthetic and pathos of an 1890s melodrama. Out on a Whim! (May 22–November 15) pays homage to the theater's vaudeville trappings with a lighthearted comedy revue, and Yuletide Madness (November 22–December 18) brings out the wackiness of the holidays with singing and dancing.

The Groupon Guide to: Playing Marbles

Marbles is a game believed to involve drawing a chalk circle and populating it with collectible glass marbles of varying color and size. Since the last person who actually knew how to play "marbles" passed away in 1956, modern game theoreticians can only speculate about the rules:

  • Draw a circle of chalk on the ground.
  • One player adds some, but not all, of their marbles.
  • Another player adds a portion of their marbles.
  • The players shake hands to agree that "marbles" is about to be played.
  • Marbles are rolled (flicked?) at one another to result in some marbles entering the circle, while others, through gentle collision, are pushed out.
  • A dog with an eye patch looks on warily, his loyalties unknown.
  • A play or move results in one player getting to keep all the marbles, hence the still relevant expression "This one is for all the marbles."
  • The players once again shake hands and return to their Victorian boys' academy, shipyard, or World War I trench, although one player's pockets, with every footstep, now clatter with the reminder that he has robbed the other player of the entirety of his worldly possessions.
  • The half-blind dog sets off alongside the nearest set of train tracks, disappearing in a cloud of sun-bleached dust.

Can you strike it big playing the highly lucrative game of marbles?
