Mrs. Brown is a sophisticated lady from a large metropolitan area who is working on her Ph.D. She has moved to the tiny hamlet of Hoke's Bluff for a one-year study of rural school life. 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.
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.
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.
Rehearsals: Fridays, 1:00-4:00 Sept. 5-Dec. 4
