Western wackiness

Published 11:59 pm Friday, April 3, 2009

On April 9, the Andalusia High School theater class will present its second-annual dinner theater at 6:30 p.m. in the Adult Activities Center. A savory meal fit for gunslingers and cowpokes alike will be catered by Casey Jones of CJ’s Grille and accompany the comical production, Step Into my Darkroom and We’ll See What Develops.

In this performance, set in the Wild West, nothing ever happens in the town of Holeinroad. Nothing much, that is, except the exciting tale of Holder Posey, the felonious traveling photographer, and his attempt to rob the vault of the Golden Spittoon Saloon.

Gilda and Echo, the town gossips, will recount the story of Holder and his novice assistant, Candide Cameron, who are thwarted in their evil actions by our hero Drew Deline, a poor sketch artist.

Tickets will be pre-sold and may be purchased for $15 from the school office or any theater student.
