gertrude c. ford center for the performing arts

The Performing Arts Center has hosted Marty Stewart, King of Jordan, Joan Baez, and the Bejing Acrobats - not to mention B.B. King. The performance hall is about the size of Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in NYC. It is attractive, comfortable with good acoustics. Tickets are not outrageously priced and the time of the performances allows for a pre-show dinner and early to bed - if that is your goal. Located on the grounds of the University of Mississippi, with plenty of parking.
