CCS to perform ‘Hollywood Hillbillies’
A spring play hasn’t happened at Chase County Schools (CCS) for two years due to conflicts with the musical.
CCS teacher and director of the play, Jill Bauerle, said, “It’s a funny play and we’re looking forward to performing.”
The play will not be performed until the end of April, but “we wanted to announce it early since we haven’t had a spring play for awhile,” Bauerle said.
Dates for the performances are April 29-30.
“Hollywood Hillbillies” is published by Eldridge Plays and written by Tim Kelly.
According to the Eldridge Plays website, Gram Hawley and granddaughter Cindy Lou 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 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.
