Now that’s entertainment Summer school is boring, right? Don’t you believe it. There were rodeos, barbeques, movies, dances, 4-H shows, parties, trips to Fort Davis and Big Bend. The list goes on and on. Best of all, there was the Theatre of the Big Bend. With family entertainment as the overall theme and goal for the theater’s 13th season, comedy and music spotlighted the four major productions which were performed three and four nights a week during July and August. “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” a musical featuring the entire Peanuts gang, attracted record-breaking crowds to the outdoor theatre. Patrons saw Lucy, Charlie Brown, Linus, Schroeder, Patty and, of course, Snoopy parade across stage in a number of comical scenes. For a touch of the melodramatic, “Because Their Hearts were Pure;” or “The Secret of the Mine” brought to center stage a hero, heroine and villian and all the other characters found in these delightful sagas. A third production, Neil Simon’s “God’s Favorite,” added honest-to- goodness humor to the theatre’s repretoire. The plot centered around a modern day Job, to whom God sent a messenger, and fire, and famine as a test of faith. “You Know I Can’t Hear You When the Water’s Running,” capped the theatre’s season with a three- week run. This adult comedy contrasted the parodies of love, sex and marriage in a series of three short one-act plays. More than 3,400 persons filled theatre seats during the seven-week long season. Attendance was more than it had been in several years; in fact, it had doubled. So who says summer school is boring. The Theatre of the Big Bend certainly wasn’t. 12 student life
