Due to the severe weather risk, the Ellis Theater has postponed the Frank Foster concert originally set for this Saturday. The event has been rescheduled for Saturday, April 5.

The National Weather Service has placed our area under a moderate risk for severe weather, with a high potential for multiple supercell storms capable of producing strong, long-tracking tornadoes. Your safety is our top priority.

Hold onto your tickets – they will be valid for the new date! If you are unable to attend on April 5, please contact the Ellis Theater Box Office at 601.653.5358.

Thank you for your understanding, and please stay weather-aware. We look forward to seeing you on April 5!
