Friends of Musselshell School, Inc. and the Illustrious Musselshell Players will soon be presenting their 21st dinner theatre production on September 27 and 28 and a matinee performance to follow on September 29 at the Musselshell School. This year's production is "The Boardinghouse" written by Vern Harden, and produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Denver, Colorado.
Life at the 'Home Sweet Home Boardinghouse' is anything but normal. Miss Harriet runs a clean, cozy home, with the help of the none-too-bright and perpetually terrified Tweenie, serving a cast of zany boarders. There is Mr. Richards who practices dying to spark his inspiration. Gladys Klotz is a taxidermist who has a direct line to the spirit world and prefers her men stuffed; while Martha Willis has every imaginable disease....and loves every minute of it. Poor Hortense tries her best to keep up with Ivy, a free spirited "artist" who enjoys painting people's faces. The suave and mysterious Dirk Shadow (a mental patient not receiving appropriate care) and his sister, Veronica, arrive on the scene to hunt for Captain Schnook's pirate treasure buried in the basement. And the clever and ever-vigilant Dr. Sni-fell tries to unravel the mystery that will have the audience laughing from beginning to end.
