THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS
Directed by Brian Sharp
Show Dates: Sept. 13 – 29, 2019
Winner of two Tony Awards, three Drama Desk Awards and a Theatre World Award, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas is a barrel of laughs featuring memorable songs and tap-dancing cowboys. It is the late 1970s, and a brothel run by Miss Mona Stangley who happens to be on good terms with local sheriff Ed Earl Dodd, has been operating outside of fictional Gilbert, Texas for more than a century. When crusading television reporter, Melvin P. Thorpe, decides to make the illegal activity an issue, political ramifications cause the place to be closed. This glorious salute to Texas is a barrel of laughs!

Moss Hart and George S.

Filled with fascinating character roles and winking homage to the intellectual and popular culture of the 1930s, this play is both a great period piece and a timeless classic.
