Omaha Community Playhouse Presents HANDS ON A HARDBODY, Now thru 3/22
The Omaha Community Playhouse musical production Hands on a Hardbody will run tonight, Feb. 13-March 22, 2015 in the Howard Drew Theatre.
How much will a group of hard-luck Texans endure to win a pickup truck? When a local dealership offers a free Nissan Hardbody to the last person standing in a competition of mental and physical endurance, heart and determination, only the strong survive. The rules are simple: don't take your hand off the truck. Only one winner can drive away with the American Dream. As hours turn into days, the American spirit shines in this inspiring and humorous musical based on a true story. Full of catchy Gospel and Country Western hits, this wildly entertaining, yet endearing musical will renew your faith in the human spirit. This production contains some strong language.
