The production of “Singin’ in the Rain” is a feather in the fedora for Theatre Memphis.
I’m always surprised when I mention The Pancake Shop and someone says, “Where’s that?” And I always say the same thing, “On Summer, by Market Basket,” even though Market Basket has been closed for at least 10 years. The thing about us lifelong Memphians is that we have long memories.
