Be My Baby takes one irascible Scotsman and one stuffy Englishwoman and sends them on a journey "across the pond" to adopt a newborn baby for their younger relatives. What ensures is a trip laced with mishaps and misfortunes. The unlikely couple meets a rogue's gallery of Americans as they face obstacle after obstacle in their adoption process. In the end, they discover the magic of Elvis, pizzas, Rob Roys, and one tiny infant who can -- and does -- change their world.

SEPTEMBER 12, 13, 18, 19, 20 Beaver Bobcat Players presents Born Yesterday, a classic comedy by Garson Canin at the Ed Schaughency Theater in the Beaver Area High School. Against the landscape of Washington, D.C. in the 1940s, ruthless junk yard millionaire Harry Brock arrives with his showgirl mistress Billie Dawn. Because Billie is poor fit for the sophisticated capital crowd, Brock hires a young journalist to transform her into a lady of culture and breeding. But the transformation turns out to be more than Brock has bargained for. Billie discovers an inner core of strength and self worth that allows her to finally break free of Brock's tyranny. All performances are at 8 p.m.
