WILLMAR — The Barn Theatre invites west central Minnesotans to travel back in time to the middle of World War II — and a musical mishap.
"The Andrews Brothers" will take the stage April 13-15 and 20-22 at 7 p.m., and April 16 and 23 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults, and $15 for children. They may be purchased at the box office during business hours, at the door or online at www www.thebarntheatre.com.
The Andrews Sisters are set to perform yet another stirring USO show for the American soldiers fighting overseas on the frontlines of World War II, but chaos ensues when they fail to appear just before the curtain rises.
Not to worry, because three earnest stagehands are determined that the show must go on — even if they have to do it themselves.
