The Des Moines Playhouse presents Crazy for You April 17-May 3. City-slicker Bobby Child travels to Nevada to foreclose on a rundown theatre. When he falls for the theatre owner's spirited daughter, Polly, Bobby vows to win her favor by saving the theatre with the grandest show the town has ever seen! The show runs Wednesday–Saturdays at 7:30 PM and Saturdays & Sundays at 2:00 PM (There is no 2:00 PM show on Saturday, April 18).
