Here's an excerpt from the LST website:
"Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is a singin’ and dancin’ spectacular based on the popular 1954 film. The time is the mid-1800s, and rugged mountain man Adam Pontipee and his six brothers are settling the wild, untamed Oregon territory. As the eldest, Adam decides it is his responsibility to find a wife who can help run the household. He ventures into town and meets Milly, a beautiful, sassy, independent young woman who captures his heart and agrees to be his bride on the spot. They quickly marry and depart for the distant Pontipee farm, but Milly’s joy is short-lived when she discovers that her new husband also lives with his six equally uncouth brothers. After recovering from the initial shock, Milly decides to make the best of the situation by helping her new brothers find brides of their own. Hilarity ensues as the well-intentioned but bumbling brothers fight for, capture, and court their prospective brides. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is an energetic, feel-good romp that the whole family can enjoy."
Sounds like fun! Come up to Leavenworth and cheer on your local thespians!
