Imagine sitting on the front porch, having a conversation. The experience is about more than the location — it’s a destination.

That’s what the composer and producers of “Thislocation” are hoping the audience will feel during a dinner theater presentation next Saturday night at the Southern Cultural Heritage Center.

The music was written by Jamie Weems, a Meridian native who now resides in Jackson.

“Each piece of Weems’ arrangement was inspired by places he has traveled,” said Krista Bower, a co-founder of Front Porch Dance, a traveling dance troupe, who refers to the all-woman group as a contemporary dance collective.
