STATE FAIR follows the Frake family's journey from their farm to the three-day 1946 Iowa State Fair. Ma (Araceli Radillo) and Pop (Christian Wulfsberg) are intent on winning prizes for their accomplishments in hog raising and mincemeat cooking, while their children Margy (Jordana Garcia) and Wayne (Steven Rios) have romantic adventures ahead of them. Margy and Wayne take us on an emotional rollercoaster ride as they experience love and heartbreak on the midway, meanwhile, their parents learn how to reconnect as the children are leaving the nest. This colorful and heartfelt show features dynamic dancing and an Academy Award-winning score, including the hit song, "It Might as Well Be Spring."
