 "Penzance" is an entertaining and laughter-filled production. The
humor seemed to flow naturally, the music was sung beautifully, and
the pirates were a tanned sight. The pirates were fully clad with an
assortment of eye patches, swords and hats. The maidens appeared as
porcelain dolls with rosy cheeks and ringlet curls. But most
importantly, they all could act and sing.
One patron said she laughed all night. "The
cast members were a hoot," she said. "They were so animated and
colorful. You could tell they were really having a good time. The
music was beautiful but difficult, and they were exceptional. I
walked away and wondered when was the last time I got such good
entertainment for $5?"
Performances will continue tonight, Friday and Saturday at 7:30
p.m. at the Lincoln Christian Church Fellowship Center, 204 N.
McLean St., so there is still time to come out and enjoy this trip
into the days of pirates and song and laughter.

Goeckner, Brian Welter, Kristee Smith, Beverly Kurka, Sheralyn
Bolton, Annie Sheley, Gail King, Miriam Carter, Kate Harmon,
