Tues.-Sat., 8 p.m.; Sun., 2:30 and 7 p.m. 11 Whitlock Ave., Marietta. 770-422-8369. www.theatreinthesquare.com.

hillarious comedy set at Bristol Motor Speedway brought the crowd to a standing ovation at the end. Racing fans and non-racing fans would enjoy this.

We saw this Sunday night and it is a funny Southern story that tugs just enough on the old heart strings. The racing theme is great but shouldn't exclude any non-race fans from attending. Highly recommended!!
