Looking for some local entertainment? Well, you're in luck! The local Community Players are opening a two week run of their fall production, entitled "Daddy's Dyin' Who's Got the Will?" That's sure to provide loads of laughs and the opportunity to see your friends and neighbors "in action," on the stage!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The show is about a reunion of a family, gathered to await the imminent death of their patriarch, Buford "Daddy" Turnover, who has recently suffered a physically as well as mentally disabling stroke. In essence, it becomes the rebirth of the family spirit. The storyline shares many elements of a good summer novel, with fast, delicious, and funny moments. However, the drama is enhanced by its share of tense and touching scenes, and characters that you grow to care about, as the comedy unravels.
