Possum Point Players Open SOUTH PACIFIC Tonight

Possum Point Players present the award-winning musical, "South Pacific," tonight, April 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, and 13. The Rodgers and Hammerstein classic, set on an island paradise during World War II, tells of two couples whose love is threatened by the dangers of prejudice and war.

The show won 10 Tony Awards when on Broadway, and features timeless favorite songs such as "Nothing Like a Dame." "Younger Than Springtime," "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair," and "Some Enchanted Evening."

A cast of 30 actors from 13 mid- and southern Delaware cities from Milford to Millsboro perform in Possum's "South Pacific." Jim Hartzell, Georgetown, is director, and Donna de Kuyper, Lewes, assistant director.
