More About "Abner"

My pal Stephen Vance wrote this about this weekend's production of Li'l Abner at Huntington High School:

Abner has been performed four times in the last 36 hours.

One of the great things for the kids is that three of the shows were school shows, two of which were completely sold out. Audiences like that bring a special energy that few get to experience.

One testament to the appeal of this show happened today. The show got started just a tad late and ran up into lunch time. When the lunch bell rang, only two people out of 700 left for food. Imagine 698 teenagers neglecting a chance to eat to finish watching the show. If that doesn't tell you something about the entertainment of the show, I don't know what does.

We're having a blast with this show, and I hope everyone can get out to see it this weekend, since this our one and only weekend.
