LTFR Musical will set your toes to tappin'


Little Theatre of Fall River kicks off 2003 with a production of "Pump Boys and Dinettes," a roadside musical tribute to the value of friendship and life's simple pleasures. On Highway 57 -- somewhere between Frog Level and Smyrna -- stands a gas station, with a roadside eatery, the Double Cupp Diner, across the way. The four guys at the station have been known to do some auto repairs, when aided by quantities of time and beer. The Cupp sisters celebrate their home cooking with the same zeal they bring to being neighborly with the boys. This show, a hit on Broadway, serves up a sampling of country, rock, western swing and folk music. The Cupp sisters will tempt you with a second cup of coffee and a song, and the Pump Boys will serenade you with numbers like "The Night Dolly Parton Was Almost Mine." Ron Robinson directs, with music direction by Dennis Robinson.
8 tonight, Highland and Prospect streets, Fall River. $12, with discount available to senior citizens, students, and groups of 20 or more. Box office: (508) 675-1852.
