Play set for June 10-11 production
in Heppner
“ A m y stery r e
m ain s,” reports Sharon
Harrison when asked if she
and co-writer Doris Bros-
nan are ready for the play
“The Star Theater in Film
and on Stage,” scheduled
for June 10 and 11.
“ We d iscovered
many useful pieces of in
formation about the theater
to use in our play, but one
discovery has gone unex
plained,” Harrison contin
ues. “In Elaine George’s
files from her ownership of
the Star Theater is a score
card for ‘Star Mini-Golf.’
We have found no other
reference to mini-golf in
Heppner, and no date is on
the card. 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.
