Edgewood Middle School Presents 'Hankerin' Hillbillies'
Posted
Staff Report-
You have no idea what twists really are going on in Edgewood Middle School's production of "Hankerin' Hillbillies."
Directed by Veronica Helser and Dan Beam, the show will be given on June 7 at 1 and 7 p.m.Pa Hereford (Brock Davis) loves his five daughters, but there are days he wonders if he should have just raised puppies.
All the girls up in the hills are suffering from what Pa calls "The Hankerin'," for they all want to get hitched. The only exception is Charlemaine (Kristin Allen), who only loves her books.
But everything changes when government man Marcus Slidell (Cameron Carter) shows up to buy land from the Herfords. For Charlie, it's love at first sight. Marcus, on the other hand, is all business. Unfortunately, the land he wants to purchase is the same plot that the Herfords and the Guernseys have been feuding over for decades.
While Marcus tries to figure out what to do, Charlie figures she has to find some way to catch Marcus's eye. She has Widder Perkins (Shelby Anderson), "The Black Widder," fix her up a love potion. After that, things really go crazy!
The daffy Bickle Sisters think the Holler is about to be invaded, husband-hunting Herfords and Guernseys try to snare government men right and left, and the newspaper editors race to get the scoop on what's new with the feud.
