Best Little Whorehouse

Nobody minds Miss Mona’s genteel brothel, which has been in town for longer than anyone could remember. But then a pesky big city reporter comes in asking questions, and even the sheriff can’t stop the inevitable as Miss Mona and her girls face an uncertain future. Inspired by a true story, the 1978 musical The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas runs for one weekend only. I’ve always been partial to “Hard Candy Christmas” and “A Lil’ Ole Bitty Pissant Country Place,” so this should be fun, assuming everybody keeps their Texas drawls in check.
