The Lees-McRae Performing Arts Department presented At The Paradise, a musical comedy, in Hayes Auditorium. At The Paradise was directed by Dr. Janet Carroll with music direction by David Blackburn. Lees-McRae students, faculty and staff with guest performers from Appalachian State Univeristy presented the play based on the book and lyrics by Janet Carroll with music by David Blackburn. The story centered around Tinkerbell , the owner of a cafe truck stop, who is a loud-mouthed, coarse woman who daily deals with Josaphine (her daughter who is over the hill at 21), a motley crew of truckers (who form a truckers ' chorus). Leonard (a construction worker whom her daughter Josaphine loves), Arnold (the stock boy who loves Josaphine). Buford and The Dixie Cups (a revival preacher and his gospel singers). Sissy (a C-B tease known as Mack Truck Mama ), and a group of camp girls who despise camp. The story unfolds with many light, frivolous songs and ends with a bitter-sweet finale. Nash Shook and Kim Hecsacker rehearse their parts for AT THE PARADISE, while the dress rehearsal features typical action of the musical comedy written by Janet Carroll with music by David Blackburn. Above, Jesse Rollins makes a point with a member of AT THE PARADISE, while the Chorus Line get in their two bits. 1 If) Performing Arts
