Based on the Academy Award-winning film, Little Miss Sunshine is an outrageously funny and surprisingly touching musical.</span></div><div style=""><span mce_style="font-size: 18px;" style=""><br style=""></span></div><div style=""><span mce_style="font-size: 18px;" style="">The Hoover family has seen better days. Richard, the father, is a floundering motivational speaker, Grandpa's been kicked out of his retirement home and Uncle Frank's been dumped by his boyfriend. Moody teenager, Dwayne, has taken a vow of silence, and overextended mom, Sheryl, can do little more than slap on a smile. But, when the youngest Hoover... energetic Olive, enters a regional children's beauty pageant, the family thinks that their luck could change and embarks on a cross-country trek, chasing the coveted title of "Little Miss Sunshine."</span></div></div></div><div style=""><span mce_style="font-size: 130%;" style=""><br></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span mce_style="font-size: 130%;" style=""><b><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">Blank Canvas Theatre provides professional quality productions, placing emphasis on entertainment at affordable prices.</font></font></b></span></div></div> </span></body></html>
