Tickets are now on sale for Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre's 38th season, which is filled with fabulous favorites and exciting new shows for a big and beautiful 2011! Amazing characters include lovely leading ladies like Hairspray's cheerful Tracy Turnblad, the spunky Annie Oakley, sentimental Cinderella and the always entertaining Church Basement Ladies. They keep the pace with Singin' In The Rain's dapper Don Lockwood and Wonderful Life's lovable George Bailey.

The best shot around, Annie Oakley supports her siblings by selling the game she hunts. She's discovered by Col. Buffalo Bill who persuades this novel sharpshooter to join his Wild West Show. In just a glance she falls head over heels for dashing shooting ace Frank Butler who headlines the show. She soon eclipses Butler as the main attraction, which while good for business is bad for romance. Considered one of the best musical scores of all time, it includes, 'They Say It's Wonderful,' I Got Lost in His Arms' and 'There's No Business Like Show Business'. The rousing finale hits the mark every time.
