Northeast Lakeview College to present "Woman Hollering Creek"

Description

Alamo Colleges District - Northeast Lakeview College will be presenting a play featuring the serio-comedy with a farcical flair Woman Hollering Creek written and directed by Rita Anderson, member of the Dramatists Guild, International Center for Women Playwrights.

 
SYNOPSIS:
DRESSY BBQ FISH TACOS is a restaurant, dress, and bait-and-tackle shop--that also offers fishing and hunting tours, as well as massages. Located on Main Street in the fictional town of Dark Cloud, Texas, it does a booming business since the ghost town hopes to get into the Book of World Records for their Largest Ball of Dental Floss. The shop is like an old-fashioned General Store on steroids. It prides itself in finding you what you need and they dabble in just about everything. But when a “stranger” comes to town and promises to make them all rich, we see that Dark Cloud is your average “quaint little town” --except that no one seems to be who they claim to be and everyone has a secret.
