Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping, and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him.

OIL CITY SYMPHONY
RED BARN THEATRE
12/13-1/12/2013
The auditorium has been swept. The crepe paper has been hung. Four music stands sit on an improvised stage. In this hit revue from the creators of PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES, four graduates of Oil City High return to their alma mater for a recital in honor of their beloved music teacher, Miss Reeves. Proud, eager - not necessarily gifted - and slightly competitive, the four perform a bizarre program that ranges from the "1812 Overture"? to "The Stars And Stripes Forever"? to rock standards, sentimental favorites and off beat original songs. It's a knee-slapping, sweetly nutty tribute that's an ideal showcase for four charismatic actor-singer-musicians. Easy and economical to produce, OIL CITY SYMPHONY is good old-fashioned fun that even includes an audience-participatory rendition of "The Hokey-Pokey,"? and punch and cookies served by the cast at the end of the performance.
