BRIARPATCH
Written and Directed by Ira David Wood III
September 19 - October 5, 2008

It's simply bodacious! It's a foot-tapping musical comedy! It's second only to our renowned A CHRISTMAS CAROL as the most requested show in our theatre's history. It's Ira David Wood's hit musical production of Briarpatch, based on the wonderful stories by Joel Chandler Harris. Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Fox, Br'er Bear, Br'er Turtle and all th' critters in the forest will be filling the stage with high-energy musical antics that will have you swaying in your seats and dancing in the aisles.

As B'rer Rabbit advises: "Everybody's got a laughing place!" You're sure to find yours this year when the banjo starts plunkin' and the critters set the backwater bayou rocking once again with everything from Dixieland jazz to rousing gospel singin'.

It's a show that will delight your entire family! Be sure to make your reservations to see Briarpatch early, 'cause tickets to this show are going to be 'bout as rare as hen's teeth!

Y'all come see us now, y'hear?
