Little Mary Sunshine
Director: Ralph C Lohse
Vocal Director
Carl "Cully" Gulbrandson
Music
Mary Roestel & Margie Schmidt
Time: Early in this Century
Place: The Colorado Inn, high in the Rocky Mountains
Director's Note: Little Mary Sunshine, a satire on the "Old-Fashioned Musical comedies", is a musical that has given me a great deal of pleasure. We have, on one hand, tried to bring back many of the elements of the past that produce a certain nostalgia, a term very popular these times, and, on the other hand, point out their absurd qualities. Simply relax, enjoy yourself, and I hope that you will concur with us that "You've got to hand it to Little Mary Sunshine"
