Blatant Thespianism To Ravage West End

Historical February 1989 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

Officials in High Ridge vow to shoot on sight any Thespians found within corporation limits “jest like we’d shoot any other kinda pervert.” Word has it, from usually unreliable sources, that the SDCC theater group that shocked the galaxy last year with its production of West of Pecos is about to perpetrate another Nineteenth Century Melodrama upon the peaceful West End. Nancy Farmer, director of SDCC and oft-time accessory to these productions, announced that the projected date of the next play would be May 20, at a site to be announced. Ms. Farmer will host an organizational meeting at the SDCC offices at 7:30 P.M. on Tuesday, February 28.

Everyone interested in being part of a theatrical production is invited to attend.

This is an excellent opportunity for newcomers to take a look at this project. Production of this melodrama is an ancient West End ritual that has been undergoing a revival recently.

Two plays have been successfully produced recently, and, thanks to generous support from the community, it appears that these plays have once more become an annual event.
