Roundup Record Tribune & Winnett Times -

It is the pleasure of Friends of Musselshell School, Inc. and The Illustrious Musselshell Players to serve to you a hilarious melodrama spoof, "The Saga of the Prospector's Daughter" or "She was only a Miner's Minor", written by Pat Cook for the 20th Annual Dinner Theatre and Matinee productions at the Musselshell School Community Center. On the evenings of Friday, September 29, and again Saturday, September 30 a three-course dinner will precede the featured production. Performances close with a Sunday Matinee on October 1.

Come join Gabby, a grizzly old prospector who would like a different ending to the play, as he attempts to manage the cast of oddball characters that seemingly ad lib their way through the wildest plot ever to hit the Musselshell stage. Every person that crosses the stage entices the audience to lend an ear to their own saga/story, creating a chaotic scene that only the piano player seems to be able to control.

On Friday & Saturday seating begins when the doors open at 5:30 p.m. sharp. The three-course dinner begins with a marinated bean salad with a basket of honey butter glazed biscuits on the table. The main course will be a bed of home-style egg noodles smothered with creamy chicken and fresh steamed broccoli on the side. Dessert will feature fudge sundae cake adorned with a generous dollop of whipped cream lightly drizzled with mint sauce.

After dinner is served, the cast and guests move to the upstairs auditorium for the evening finale, when "The Saga of the Prospector's Daughter" will be performed.

The cost of the dinner-theatre is $25.00 per person. RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND THE DINNER THEATRE. Reserve your seat today by calling 406-947-5200.
