2012 melodrama “Big Boy in a Little Mess” or Sister Mary Get Your Gun

This year the Valley Springs FOTL presents their 2012 melodrama “Big Boy in a Little Mess” or Sister Mary Get Your Gun. This is their 14th melodrama and biggest fund raiser for the year. The entire board gets into the act either cooking, serving, selling tickets, getting raffle items, acting, singing, or sweeping out the place – doing whatever it takes to have a successful melodrama.

The play was written by Marty Tedder this year, a veteran of many melodramas. It is set during prohibition when gangsters from Chicago invade peaceful little Valley Springs. Eliot Mess, the hero, follows the gangsters and confronts them with the help of Sister Mary. Will they be able to rescue poor Chastity Bell from the clutches of Big Boy Bambino and his gang before everyone gets shot? Come and find out while supporting the Valley Springs library. (more…)
