We could all use a little laughter these days, and the Board of Directors of the Bay St. Louis Little Theatre has chosen this “comeback” season to be a season of comedies. The first comedy installment of the season is the iconic “Beverly Hillbillies,” opening on October 15.
“This is the perfect comedy to bring to our community after a season of pandemic scare and isolation. I found myself laughing out loud while reading the first page of the script,” stated Board member Calyton Pennylegion. |
