The
Payson High School Longhorn Theatre Company will open their next production
“Star-Spangled Canteen” on Feb. 7 in the High School
Auditorium. This hilarious comedy takes place while World War II rages, the
Bugle sisters turn their Grandpa Buddy's Seaside Hotel into the Star-Spangled
Canteen where sailors and soldiers can relax. Not only do the girls want to
help the war effort, but they want to save the Seaside from the hands of a ruthless
businessman, Skylar Schutt, who intends to buy it for back taxes. But when
Schutt accuses Grandpa Buddy of being a German spy, the girls - with a little
help from the Ladies' League for Coastal Defense - declare all-out war! And it
isn't long before a platoon of spy’s surfaces! It seems everybody becomes
suspicious of everyone else until a nighttime reconnaissance mission traps the
real traitor. Wise-cracking sailors, a hillbilly jug band, a returning, injured
brother, a pair of crusty old vaudevillians, and the spunky Bugle girls
themselves make this an all-star winner!
Along
with this zany script they have added some live entertainment. You will be entertained
by a Hillbilly jug band, some Vaudeville dancing, and a group of “Bugle Girls”
that will sing some top hits from the 1940’s, and of course swing dancing.
The
show runs February 7th through the 9th. Show times are
7 p.m. on Feb. 7 and 9, and a 4 p.m. matinee on Feb. 8.
Prices are $6 for Adults, $5 for Students and Senior Citizens. All
proceeds from ticket sales go right back into the Longhorn Theatre Company so
they can continue to produce these amazing productions. The Longhorn Theatre
Company has been producing a full season of plays for over 20 years and they
would like to thank everyone for its continued support for the arts and helping
keep the Longhorn Theatre Company alive and well. Payson should be proud to
have such wonderful Arts programs in the schools and know that they are always
striving to improve the quality of their programs for the many students
involved in them.
