Country music legend Loretta Lynn headlines the 2011 Stars on Stage fundraiser for the Historic Tennessee Theatre Foundation, following in the footsteps of previous years’ headliners Al Green, B.B. King, Bill Cosby, Tony Bennett and Jay Leno. With 50 years of music under her belt as well as 50 years of firsts, Lynn is the perfect performer to debut a new generation of Stars on Stage annual events, dubbed “Tennessee Legends”. Stars on Stage is the non-profit theater's annual fundraising event, which supports the Tennessee's annual operating budget and helps ensure the preservation of this world-class performance venue. Buyers of the $125 VIP tickets enjoy the best seats in the house and also are invited to participate in a pre-show reception with drinks, food and a silent auction. The silent auction will end before doors open to the general public at 7:30 p.m. It will not be an event to miss! Or, if you choose to attend the performance only, reserved tickets are available for just $47 to see this country legend. Prior to Loretta Lynn's performance, a live auction will take place from the stage. Everyone in the audience is eligible to bid during the live auction, which will include several music-themed items, including a guitar signed by Loretta Lynn, a harmonica signed by Huey Lewis, puppets signed by Jeff Dunham, athletic memorabilia signed by the University of Tennessee’s top head coaches, spa packages, and much more, including a private movie screening for up to 1,500 guests at the Historic Tennessee Theatre and the highest bidder's message of choice on the Tennessee Theatre marquee. All proceeds from this event support the Historic Tennessee Theatre Foundation. Thank you for supporting the Tennessee Theatre, Knoxville’s Grand Entertainment Palace and the Official State Theatre of Tennessee.
