Once she arrives, she discovers she is quite the fish out of water; Mrs. Brown is used to schools equipped with state-of-the-art computer labs and up-to-date technology. At Hoke’s Bluff, however, high tech is an intercom system consisting of an aluminum can with a piece of string attached.<br /><br />On the first day of school, the sheriff shows up looking for leads to cow-tipping pranks which were pulled all summer on area pasture land. Mrs. Brown discovers right away her task of studying "these people" may be more than she bargained for.<br /><br />But as relationships are built, Mrs. Brown not only teaches her students a few lessons, but she learns a few of her own. And when Clyde, the school janitor, has eyes for her, she also discovers that there’s more on these people’s minds than just cow tipping.<br /></strong><br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,153,0)">Rehearsals: Fridays, 1:00-4:00</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,153,0)"> Sept. 5-Dec. 4</span></span></div>Melissa Loughhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07262252022125675919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420162583411228462.post-37219734503982872202008-05-03T03:38:00.001-07:002008-08-21T07:48:44.920-07:00COW TIPPERS Rehearsals<div align="center"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN0IAyGTnZWR5QeDkXPGCopwTa1-4UWXcDpzzHumJNUV3UQrcs5B8jYYcQasEraLFN40qXPlQRzJXiEYJLLiLdqWUpbfHbyVS21dOxousn9y-Roxv7og6D7EzzebquNPOeB6AqTvirrbQ/s1600-h/Copy+of+Shoes+Blues+Practice+04-27-07+027.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5201391944158151730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN0IAyGTnZWR5QeDkXPGCopwTa1-4UWXcDpzzHumJNUV3UQrcs5B8jYYcQasEraLFN40qXPlQRzJXiEYJLLiLdqWUpbfHbyVS21dOxousn9y-Roxv7og6D7EzzebquNPOeB6AqTvirrbQ/s200/Copy+of+Shoes+Blues+Practice+04-27-07+027.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="COLOR: rgb(0,153,0);font-family:Arial Black;" ><span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">The Cow Tippers </span></span></div><div align="center"><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,153,0);font-family:Arial Black;" >Rehearsals </span><br /><div style="COLOR: rgb(0,153,0); TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Fridays, September 5-December 5</span><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">1:00-4:00</span><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">at </div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><strong>Geyer Performing Arts Center<br /></strong><br /></div></div><?xml:namespace prefix = o /><o:p></o:p></div></div><div style="COLOR: rgb(255,255,255); TEXT-ALIGN: left"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b><span style="COLOR: rgb(255,255,255)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(153,51,153)">DIRECTIONS</span>:S</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(255,255,255)"> </span>to Geyer Performing <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 /><st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Arts</st1:placename> <st1:placetype st="on">Center</st1:placetype></st1:place>:</b></span></p><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>Travel on 119 S and exit at the Scottdale exit.</b></span></p><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>At the top of the ramp bear to the right onto PA 819 S.</b></span></p><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>Travel approximately 2.5 miles on 819 S (There is one tricky spot where it looks like a fork in the road-stay on 819 S by bearing to the left)</b></span></p><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>At the first stoplight you come to, turn right and the theatre is immediately on your left. </b></span></p><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b><span style="font-size:0;"></span>(At the light you will see a National City Drive-thru Bank on your left and a Sheetz diagonally to your left.)<br /><br /></b></span></p><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(153,51,153)">PARKING</span><b>: You may use the metered parking along <st1:street st="on"><st1:address st="on">Pittsburgh St.</st1:address></st1:street> but there is a free lot close to the theatre.</b></span></p><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>Directions to free lot: 1.
