ARTS
The Best Little Whore
house in Texas on Febru
ary 4 at the Augusta Play
ers. When is a house not a
home? When its a chicken
ranch filled with nine
lovely young ladies, a
madam, an ornery sheriff,
and the Texas A & M
football team. This 1978
Broadway musical hit is
based on the true story of
a feisty madam who con
fronted a puritanical TV
reporter’s efforts to stir up
moral indignation and
shutter her thriving small
town brothel. The Best
Little Whorehouse in
Texas is a rollicking, rip
roaring, roller-coaster ride
of a musical with a defi
nite country-western flair.
This uproariously funny
show is everything it
promises to be and more!
Order tickets call 706-
826-4707.
