HHS Drama Club presents "Taming the Wild Wild, West in a Dress"

The Hanford High School Drama Club will present Taming the Wild, Wild West in a Dress October  7 through 9 at the Stratton L. Tarvin Presentation Center. Show time is 7 p.m. and tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students.

This show is a Western comedy about a young actor, Clarence, and his acting troupe on a journey to Nevada. Clarence makes the trek to inherit a saloon left to him by his late Aunt Iva Fortune (get it? Iva Fortune?).  He soon comes to realize that it’s not a saloon, but a ladies’ salon he has inherited! Unfortunately, men could not manage salons in those frontier days so Clarence and his talented group of friends must devise a plan. Come and see how these men manage to pull off the deception in dresses! We hope to see many of you there in the audience to support our great theatre program.

The HHS Drama Club will also attend the Drama Teachers Association of Southern California Festival Competition in Central Los Angeles October 30. Seven drama students will be competing at Central Los Angeles High School in both performance and technical categories.
