    Stax Music Academy is presenting an original, Broadway-style musical production, “Welcome to Soulsville,” on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 at the Cannon Center for the Performing Arts.

    The musical, written by SMA vocal director/operations director Justin Merrick, is based on the history of the community surrounding the Stax Museum of American Soul Music and Stax Music Academy known as Soulsville, USA. It is the story of a group of young people and their journey through Soulsville, USA seeking to find out the real meaning of “soul.” Told through music, dance, drama, and fashion, the production includes new, original music as well as numbers by Isaac Hayes, Aretha Franklin, Sam & Dave, Eddie Floyd, Tina Turner, and many others.

    Bar-Kays lead singer Larry Dodson will appear as a special guest as will Soulsville Foundation CEO and Grammy-winning musician Kirk Whalum.
