After nearly 10 years of planning, fundraising and restoring, Calhoun’s GEM Theatre is re-opening this month. The “Funniest Man In America” James Gregory will be the first to take the GEM stage on Saturday, Aug. 27, at 7 p.m.  

Gregory has been performing homespun comedy to soldout crowds for more than 25 years, delivering common sense wisdom, old-fashioned values and politically incorrect humor,

A select number of tickets are $30 and all others are $25. Tickets can be purchased at the Calhoun-Gordon County Chamber, Fitness First of Calhoun, Red Door Cafe’ and online at www.calhoungem.org.  

The original GEM is best remembered as a movie theater, but the renovated 460-seat GEM will showcase a variety of entertainment, including concerts, plays, traveling productions and classic movies. Most importantly, the GEM will be the community’s theater, available to schools, organizations, businesses and individuals.
