 Allen's Community Theatre presents the first show of the 2014-15 season, There's No Place Like Homer. When Bob and Sharon Wilson, a typical middle-class couple, decide to take a road trip away from the hustle of big city life, they encounter a cornucopia of colorful mountain characters when their car breaks down in the isolated hamlet of Homer. The original script was written by locals Rusty Harding and Marcus Ridner and is directed by Leigh Wyatt Moore.
Performances will be October 10 - 26 at Allen's Community Theatre, located at 1206 E. Main Street #105, (SW corner of Allen Heights and Main Street). |
