TILLAMOOK — The Tillamook
Association for the Perform-
ing Arts presents its fall mu-
sical “Dames at Sea,” which
opens this weekend.
For anyone who loves the
Hollywood musicals of the
1930s and 1940s, this campy,
slap-happy romp will take you
back to that nostalgic time and
have you tapping your toes
along with the music.
Selected as “Best Musical
of the Year” by Time, News-
week and Outer Critics Cir-
cle, “Dames at Sea” revolves
around the New York theater
scene, into which sweet and
innocent newcomer Ruby has
come to make it big on Broad-
way. She takes over a vacated
spot in the chorus of the new
musical “Dames at Sea” on

Dick is also a songwriter and
is hoping to get his tunes into
a show.
Unfortunately, the theater
is being torn down, and Ruby’s
Broadway debut is suddenly in
peril. Dick and his pal Lucky
come to the rescue, providing
the deck of their battleship
for the opening night perfor-

drafted to step in and aided by
Dick’s new songs, becomes
the toast of the town and the
star she’d always hoped to be.
