Last Update 08/28/04

We have just finished our eleventh season of providing quality community theatre in Houston with our production of Li'l Abner, which will opened July 13, 2001 for five 8 o'clock performances. Our Year Ten Anniversary production of Grease!, which closed on July 15, 2000, completed what was our most successful run in our history, but Li'l Abner looks to be a similar success financially, with ticket sales about the same as they were for Grease!

Auditions were held Monday, March 19, 2001 at the Parish Hall of St. Cyril Catholic Church, located on Westheimer just west of Beltway 8. Visit our cast page for a list of characters.

If I had my druthers,
I'd druther have my druthers
Than anything else I know
While you'd druther hustle
accumulatin' muscle
I'd druther watch daisies grow.

While they're growin' slow
'n the summer breeze is blowin'
My heart is overflowin' 'n so;
If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
than anything else I know.

If I had my druthers,
I'd druther have my druthers
Than work any wheres at all
It ain't that I hates it,
I often contemplates it
while watchin' the rain drops fall

I sits there for hours,
developin' my powers
a figurin' how flowers gets tall
If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
than anything else at all.
