Don't miss the opportunity to see the young people from Ponca City and the surrounding area bring you the endearing tale of Oklahoma author John Erickson's "Hank the Cowdog".  This is a great fun-filled night out for families and groups wishing to support our hard-working 2nd grade through high school guys and gals.  Guts, glory, danger and sacrifice are all in a day's work for Hank the Cowdog, Head of Ranch Security.  Enjoy the many adventures throughout the play -- enjoy his escapades along the way with his buddy Drover, and his lovely Missy Coyote.  Support your Poncan Theatre and the youth of our community by purchasing tickets today (adults $16, children $8).   

 

The Poncan Theatre also thanks Silvertop Farm & Vineyards for their co-sponsorship of this event.
