PBHS presents musical Nov. 12 years ago
Peabody-Burns High School music and drama will present "Hankerin' Hillbillies" at 7 p.m. Nov. 12 and 4 p.m. Nov. 13. Performances will be in the Brown Building concert hall.
"Hankerin' Hillbillies" tells the story of Pa and Ma Hereford and their five daughters, all hankerin' to find a man, except for daughter Charlie, who only looks at books.
Everything changes when government man, Marcus Slidell shows up to buy land from the Herefords. 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 the Herefords 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, so she has Widder Perkins, "The Black Widder," fix her up a love potion. The daffy Bickle Sisters think the Holler is about to be invaded, husband-hunting Herefords and Guernseys try to snare government men right and left and newspaper editors race to get the scoop on what's new with the feud.
