Cast prepares for CCS ‘funny’ spring play

Despite illness and conflicts with other activities, the cast of the spring play at Chase County Schools will perform “Hollywood Hillbillies” next week.
Unlike one and three-act plays, which are Nebraska School Activities Association sanctioned events, the performance is “just for fun,” CCS teacher and director of the play, Jill Bauerle, said.
The show will be staged April 29-30.
“Hollywood Hillbillies” is published by Eldridge Plays and written by Tim Kelly.
According to the Eldridge Plays website, Gram Hawley (played by Nike Smith in a dress and wig) and granddaughter Cindy Lou (Tegan Towns) run the general store in Happy Hollow, deep in the Ozarks, but there is a new highway coming through and that means Happy Hollow soon will be dynamited off the map.
It’s discovered Gram’s property contains the biggest store of natural gas ever, and a couple of crooks want to have the unsuspecting Gram sign her land over to them. Enter some folks from Hollywood (David Weiss and Lucy Spady) who insist on making a movie about life in the hills—if they can find some money—and some snobbish California relatives who loathe every minute with the weird Hawleys.
