Additional Comments: We had a dinner club type thing where we served dinner (chuck wagon style, with bb brisket, beans, coleslaw, roll and dessert) while the audience watched the play. We even had an intermission as the play was 90 minutes in length. Most all the food was donated and we had standing room only for this event. For four or five months we practiced and learned lines for a melodrama play. Name of play was "The Ballad of Goper Gap" The play was lots of fun to do, and a lot of work. We had a production team setting up the stage and props, actors, and a director. Quite the event with lots of laughter, applause and fun! Most of all it brought the club together.
