This will be troupe members Carly Ball, Gary Baker, Courtney McLaughlin, Chris "C-Mo" Molloy, Anne Raugh, Franky Russell, Jeff Schnorr, Laura Stark and Julie Williams only two performances in April.

National Pork Producers Convention. The 20th Anniversary season wraps up with three shows in May (3, 4, 25) and two shows in June (14 & 15).
