The productions just continue! Following last weekend’s production of The Bill Show in Derby Kansas, Dean and I now have a production of The Marley Show coming up as well! Pack your bags, folks. You’re going to West Covina, California!

Join West Covina Theater Company August 26–September 11 for fourteen performances of The Marley Show. I’m sure that’s a record number of performances all in the same production for us.

The play runs Thursdays–Saturdays at 7pm, Saturdays and Sundays at 3pm at The West Covina Playhouse (on the West Covina High School Campus. Tickets range from $8–$4 and can be purchased by calling 626-859-2900, extension 3922.

Will Dean and I make it out to California? Not if Dean’s already used up all his vacation days. But we know some people in the greater West Covina area, so casual readers of the site should take the trip and have your friends meet our friends.

And by all means, enjoy the performance.

Here is more information on The Bill Show in Derby, Kansas!

The play was featured in the Derby Daily Reporter in this article and with this front page photo on July 14. The Bill Show was also featured in Derby’s weekly paper, The Derby Weekly Informer on the same date with another preview article. I think this is the most press coverage we’ve ever seen.

Dean and I have also been sent a mini-copy of the Derby Community Theatre’s poster for the show. And it is wild! Although I’ll always have a soft spot for Japanese Flag Boxer Shorts, this poster shows perfectly what the play is really about:

As you can see from the poster, there are still performances this Saturday and Sunday, so Kansas-area weblog fans check it out!

And I may just have more play information for you tomorrow….

Do we have any Kansas fans out there?

I’m not talking about “Dust in the Wind,” I’m talking about The Bill Show!

If you are near Derby, Kansas, you can see The Bill Show performed by the Derby Community Theatre from Thursday, July 15–Sunday, July 25. See this calendar listing in the Wichita Eagle for more information.

And for fun, visit the theatre’s website, where you can see pictures from their previous production of The Diviners. I have no idea what this play is about, but after seeing these pictures, I think I know more than I need to know….
