Whatever your preference - this pre-Labor Day weekend is gonna be a blast! Now, Monday is Labor Day and in the world of fashion that means it's time to say good-bye to white... So, this First Friday, bid adieu to your colorless clothes in downtown Macon's First Friday "Whiteout!" Walk the white carpet to a fabulous "White Party" at the 1842 Inn. The soiree begins at 8:00 p.m. And don't miss the after-party at SoChi Gallery! In other First Friday news, the melodies of jazz guitarist Eric Essix illuminate the Douglass Theatre.

Now, let's go to church. The ladies of First Baptist of Ivy Gap, Tennesse are taking over Macon Little Theatre in Showtime at First Baptist! "We're doing the sequel to First Baptist of Ivy Gap," says returning actress Ann Voss. Ann and Dee Whidby were in the original play and reprise their roles as Veira and Edith in the hilarious new story. When lightning destroys their church, it's up to a group of women - very diverse women - to find a way to rebuild.
