Farce of Nature comes to Prairie Players

Southern-fried comedy written by Jones Hope Wooten and directed by Mary Ellen
Millem is about the struggling Wilburn family at their Arkansas fishing lodge, the Reel

wife seeking romance, a gun-happy sister hiding a mob snitch, and chaotic, unexpected
guests.

There will also be matinee performances on Sunday, April 19 and 26, at 2 P.M. Tickets
