A large cast has been hard at work under the direction of Sandra York.

The cast includes: Brandy Biggins, Tamp Comp, Gunyr Fitzgerald, Ron High Rock, Dan Patmore, Emily Moser, Mary Backus, Roxanne Farley, Charles York, Barb DeSersa, Randy Farley, Doug Nelson, Cheril Meiners and Carm Cheatum.

Dan Patmore is doing a dual role in this production, acting on stage and being the technical director. This rip-roaring, hilarious high octane race to beat the stork begins when Walker Sprunt’s wife, Hayley, goes into labor with their first child. The problem? She’s in Alabama and he is in LA trying his best to get through a surprise visit from his meddling mother and bossy big sister. Stuck in LA because of a air traffic controller’s strike, mama wrangles her reluctant children into embarking on what turns out to be a hysterical cross country road trip.

The clocks is ticking as they race through some of America’s most unbelievably eccentric and hilarious backroad communities. Out of quarantine, been cooped up too long and want to get out of the house.

Come enjoy a good comedy and see the work of local actors and actresses. The play will also be presented Oct. 8, 9 and10 at 7:30 p.m.
