Our Productions Theatre Co. To Present PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES, 12/13 - 12/23

The roof will be raised with toe-tappin' tunes as Our Productions Theatre Co. & Theatre FMPAT presents PUMP BOYS & DINETTES by John Foley, Mark Hardwick, Debra Monk, Cass Morgan, John Schimmel and Jim Wann. The show runs December 13th - 23rd in the Black Box Theater at the MCL Grand, 100 North Charles Street in Lewisville.

On Highway 57, somewhere between Frog Level and Smyrna, stands a gas station. Across the blacktop is a roadside eatery called the Double Cupp Diner. The four guys at the station, Jim, Jackson, Eddie and L.M., have been known to do some auto repairs, but only when aided by quantities of time and beer. The Cupp sisters, Prudie and Rhetta, celebrate their home cooking with the same zeal they bring to being neighbourly with the boys. This is their musical tribute to life by the roadside!

Playing and singing cast members include Mark Mullino, who also directs, Doug Jackson, Angie McWhorter, Rick Norman, Stephanie Riggs, and John Venable. The piece is produced in conjunction with Samuel French Musicals and Actors' Equity Association, with sponsors including The Town of Flower Mound and The Texas Commission on the Arts & The National Endowment for the Arts.
