This is the first regional production of the show since Marvin Zindler's death almost two years ago. A performance will be dedicated to Zindler on July 18th and all his children will attend a special reception that night.
Every Texan’s guilty pleasure is burning up the stage at the Country Playhouse July 10-25, 2009. The hit musical makes a return with Miss Mona and her girls, the ornery investigative reporter Melvin P. Thorpe, Aggie boys looking for love and the Governor sidestepping his way through theTexas state capitol!
The classic show is inspired by the true story of the Chicken Ranch in La Grange, Texas and the Houston area newsman who eventually got it closed down for good. This is the Country Playhouse’s 20th Anniversary production of the musical written by Larry King and Peter Masterson with music and lyrics by Carol Hall.
While you may think you know the whole story, audiences will be treated to a telling of the tale which includes authentic details researched by the production team including interviews with former customers of the actual “lil’ ole bitty pissant country place” that once lay down an old
dirt road in central Texas.
Performances are July 10-25, 2009: Fri & Sat @ 8pm
Matinees: Sunday, July 12 & 19 @ 2pm
Thursdays, July 16 & 23 @ 7:30pm
TICKETS: $25 Adult/$23 Students/Seniors (65+)
