EVENT: Dover Players’ Presents a New Fall Show, PARKTOWN – A Historical Musical Comedy!

See the new Behrendt/Campbell musical production, PARKTOWN! Who thought learning your history could be so complicated? Dover Players will be performing the new historical musical comedy, PARKTOWN the first three weekends of November. The script and music is written by the talented Keith Behrendt, with the entertaining Jeff Campbell directing. Choreography is by the creative Josh Landis.

Synopsis: Jim comes back to his childhood home of Parktown and suggests celebrating a Bicentennial; not everyone agrees it is a good idea, along with worries of what researching the towns history may reveal. History can be subjective. This musical play takes us through Jim’s journey to research, build and promote a celebration, while discovering his own family history in Parktown. Celebrate 200 years from something at The Bicentennial of Parktown.
