A rural setting, a new teacher from the big city and a rash of cow tipping will provide lots of laughs for audience members as Edgewood-Colesburg High School presents “The Cow Tippers,” March 17-19.
The play description, from Eldridge Plays and Musicals, describes the synopsis like this:
“Mrs. Brown has moved to Hoke’s Bluff to study rural school life. She’s used to schools equipped with state-of-the-art computer labs and up-to-date technology. At Hoke’s Bluff, however, high tech is an intercom system consisting of an aluminum can with a piece of string attached. On the first day of school, the sheriff shows up looking for leads to cow-tipping pranks. Her study of ‘these people’ may be more than she bargained for. But as relationships are built, Mrs. Brown not only teaches her students a few lessons, but she learns a few of her own. And when Clyde, the school janitor, has eyes for her, she also discovers that there’s more on these people’s minds than just cow tipping.”
Director Carston Calderwood said the play allows for flexible cast assignments. “We hadn’t done a comedy in a while and I was trying to find something very different from what we have done in the past,” he explained. “The parts in this play are flexible. I have quite a few female actors and there are parts that can be switched around.”
Performances are in the high school gymnasium Friday, March 17 and Saturday, March 18 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, March 19 at 2 p.m.
