We have drawn a blank!” However, the show will go on, filled with other information about the mov ie theater and events at the theater over its 54-year his tory in Heppner. Audiences will see history come alive once more, as the “Dinner- at-the-Cemetery Players” perform the story at 6:30 p.m. on Friday and at a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday. Many actors will be fam iliar to audience members familiar with the other “Dinner” performanc es through the past 10 years. Some faces on stage will be new. A new story means that characters are new and include JB Sparks, Bert and Sadie Sigsbee, a vaudeville couple, some talent-contest winners, a typical family from four different eras, and even some young theater goers and movie stars. Tickets for the pro duction at the Elks Lodge are on sale now at the two banks, Murray’s Drug Store, and the Chamber Office. The price is only $10 this year. The number of tick ets for each performance is limited, so early purchase is suggested, though tick ets will be available at the “Star ticket booth” before each perform ance until sold out. “The Star Theater in Film and on Stage” will be presented with a theater- style seating arrangement, so dinner will not be served. Instead, in keeping with the atmosphere of movie theaters, a concession stand will offer candy, popcorn, and drinks during intermis sions. Proceeds from the concessions will benefit the local FFA program, and proceeds from the ticket sales will go to the Morrow County Museum Founda tion.
