March 20, 2015

FOUNTAIN — The Mason County Eastern Drama Club presents the play “Somewhere Else Dreams” by Jeffery Strausser. The show debuted Thursday and continues tonight and Saturday at Sherman Township Hall, 3854 E. Main St.

Ashlee Martin, a young waitress at the All American Diner in the town of Jacksonville, located in the heart of east Texas, dreams of finding a better life somewhere else. Yet, fate holds her at the diner just a little longer so the cast of zany characters that include a nursing home escapee, a used lawnmower peddler, a welder who insists on telling corny jokes and a yokel who might have won the lottery can unwittingly create a hilarious chain of events that show Ashlee her “better life” was always right in Jacksonville.

Tickets are available at the door at a cost of $5 per person. Doors open at 7 p.m. both evenings with curtain time at 7:30 p.m.

The cast includes:
