Back by popular demand, the critically acclaimed Jim Post returns to the Theatre at the Center, where he delighted audiences last holiday season with his show Mark Twain AND THE LAUGHING RIVER. The musical docu-drama GALENA ROSE: HOW WHISKEY WON THE WEST will run tonight, December 27 through Sunday, December 30 at 1040 Ridge Road, Munster, Indiana.

Previously described as one of the Midwest's greatest treasures, Jim Post's original play remains an unforgettable experience. Travelling from the 1800′s to today with stories of whiskey drinkers, gamblers and young lovers, Post takes audiences on a journey they will likely never forget as he recounts the history of the charming town of Galena, Illinois.
