SUMMARY: The first Broadway show of the year is set to take place at Thalia Hall, but the building is facing major repair issues that could make access difficult for theatergoers. The elevators in the building are out of service, causing concerns for those who may have difficulty walking up the stairs. Arden Barnett, who owns the entertainment company Arden Land, says the age of the elevators and escalators at Thalia Mara has made it difficult to find repair parts. While the escalator is back in working order, there is no timeline for when the elevators will be fixed. Barnett is in constant contact with the city of Jackson to address the issue.

SUMMARY: On Saturday night, the weather is expected to be mostly cloudy with numerous evening showers. Meanwhile, Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey is linked to a civil rights lawsuit involving two men, Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker, who were abused by a group of deputies known as “the Goon Squad.” A federal judge denied Bailey's request to dismiss himself from the $400 million lawsuit, emphasizing that the sheriff could still be held accountable for failing to supervise the deputies. The six individuals involved in the assault pleaded guilty to various charges and received prison sentences.
