Annual melodrama
takes a Prohibition, gangster theme
By
Nick Baptista
The annual melodrama presented by The Valley Springs Friends of
the Library is entitled “Big Boy In A Little Mess” or “Sister Mary
Get Your Gun.”
This year’s production is
set during prohibition when gangsters from Chicago invade peaceful
little Valley Springs, according to melodrama publicity chairman
Don Urbanus.
“Eliot Mess, the hero, follows the gangsters and confronts them
with the help of Sister Mary,” Urbanus said about the plot. “Will
they be able to rescue poor Chastity Bell from the
clutches of Big Boy
Bambino and his gang?”
This year’s melodrama is written by Marty Tedder, a veteran of
many melodramas.
The 2012 version of the melodrama will premiere Friday, Feb. 24,
in the Jenny Lind Veterans Memorial Hall, 189 Pine St. Doors will open
at 6 p.m. and the melodrama will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 for the
opening night-no dinner show.
The production continues Saturday, Feb. 25, with a no-dinner
matinee. Doors open at 1 p.m. and the play will start at 2. Tickets are
$10.
“We are trying to be family friendly by giving a free ticket
after purchasing two
tickets on the first weekend only,” Urbanus added.
The dinner shows are scheduled for the following two weeks and
will feature chicken with mushroom gravy and the fixings. The cost is
$20 per person for the March 2 and 3, or 9 and 10 dinners and shows.
Doors will open at 6 p.m. and there will be a no-host bar. Dinner will
be served at 6:45, while the melodrama will begin at 7:45.
Tables for eight can be reserved on the
dinner nights. Ticket and table reservations can be made by calling
Willene at 772-1000, or Jackie at 772-0591. Tickets are also available
at Health Habit in The Terrace Plaza.
Proceeds from the event go toward the library.
