Mon, 29 Jun 2009 05:57:00 -0400

THE MUSICAL celebrates the tradition of six-on-six high school girls’ basketball in Iowa – its glorious history, unique rules, phenomenal popularity, colorful personalities, and the controversy that ultimately resulted in the game’s demise. Featuring 17 original songs and more than 50 theatre artists from central Iowa, SIX-ON-SIX: THE MUSICAL was created by playwright/composer/lyricist Robert John Ford, whose CAUCUS! THE MUSICAL received rave reviews and international acclaim during its premiere run in Des Moines in January 2008. But most importantly, Hoover Director Ms. Chelsea Cunningham will be performing in this production!
