Hank Mooney, Office of Public Information

Theatre Eastern will present The Lone Star Love Potion by Michael Parker on Thursday, February 19th, Friday, February 20th, and Saturday, February 21st at 7:30pm in Mitchell Auditorium on the Wilburton campus of Eastern Oklahoma State College.

This funny farce is set on a Texas ranch. Rich Edward Stancliffe's heirs have gathered to read his will. An assortment of neighbors has stopped in, a flash flood is sweeping through town, and love is in the air - or at least in a thermos. It seems that eccentric old Uncle Edward has left behind his company's secret formula - a thermos full of South American Love Potion. Of course, no one believes in love potions - or do they? As the characters plot and question, hilarious hi-jinks ensue. Nothing is as it seems, but in the end, one thing is certain - The Lone Star Love Potion is packed with laughs as big as Texas!

Don't miss this feel-good comedy for adult audiences, starring: Wilburton freshman, Callie Bush as Melody, the clutzy maid; Vian sophomore, Robert Miller as Jarvis, the butler; Hartshorne sophomore, Tiffany Price as Patrice Leadley, Mr. Stancliffe's niece; Smithville sophomore, Boomer Lowrie as her wayward husband, Michael Leadley; Hartshorne freshman, Joshua Billie as Mr. Oakfield, the lawyer; Pittsburg sophomore, Rachel Herron as Tammy-Jo Harper, a neighboring rancher; and Panola sophomore, Katie Foster as Mary-Lou Winston, a dowdy scientist studying the local woodpeckers.

Tickets for The Lone Star Love Potion will be available at the door, starting one hour before each performance. Tickets are $3 for general admission, and Free for all Eastern students, faculty, and staff. For more information call director Melissa Heath-Lee at 918-465-1758.
