Former Mt. Morris Resident Actress to Star in White Pines Dinner Theater Production of "The Best Little Chicken Ranch"

 

The Best Little Chicken Ranch will be performed on September 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, and 23 during the day, and a special evening performance is now scheduled for Friday, September 10!  You don’t want to miss this show!  Why, you may ask?  What makes this performance so much more special than all the other thoroughly enjoyable shows you have seen at the White Pines Dinner Theatre?  We will tell you why!

 

  • Anne Azra (formerly Anne Miller, who grew up in Mt. Morris and is the daughter of Larry and Ellen Miller of Mt. Morris) will play the starring role of Miss Mona – the part Dolly Parton played in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

 

  • Playing the “Ladies of the Bordello” will be none other than White Pines Inn’s Owner, Beth Henderson; the General Manager, (also formerly from Mt. Morris), Laura Hoyle; the wedding coordinator, Alana Murray (another Mt. Morris-ite!) and the dinner theatre servers (including even another Mt. Morris-ite)!   You’ve met all these ladies, but you’ve never seen them like this!   

Did you know the White Pines has a chicken ranch in it?  Have mercy on our souls!

 

Call for reservations today!  (815) 946-3817. For more information on the play, visit http://www.whitepinesinn.com
