You and your audiences will eat up this melodrama that also lends itself perfectly to dinner theatre!  With all the ingredients for a true melodrama, including punny names and an MC who introduces the characters and teaches the audience how to boo the villain and cheer the hero, audiences of all ages will savor this delectable comedy! 

Grannie Smith and her charming but clumsy granddaughter, Petunia Pearl, run the Hoot ‘n’ Holler Hotel.  Sadly, they’re behind on the mortgage, and even Sheriff Kirk Ketchum and his self-appointed deputy, Hal Holdem, can’t seem to stop dastardly villain Duke Dreadful from swooping in and buying up the place.  So when world traveling Bonnie Voyage returns from a trip to Italy and suggests a spaghetti sauce contest with enough prize money to pay the mortgage, Grannie and Petunia enter to save their beloved hotel.  But Duke will stop at nothing to get what he wants — which includes the hand of Petunia — and enlists the help of accomplice Saucy Sally to cheat his way to victory.

Can Sheriff Ketchum save the Hoot ‘n’ Holler...and win the heart of his true love?  Let’s hope it’s not “Mission Im-Pasta-ble!”
