In the uproarious Lone Star Love Potion, the owner of a vast fortune and a two hundred thousand-acre Texas ranch has died. His will refers to the butler, the maid, his niece and the neighbor, Tammy Jo, as well as a formula and a sample of what appears to be a love potion. Can it really work? With the potential to be worth billions to whoever can claim it, everyone is trying to prove it works - with hilarious results. Only in the last 30 seconds of the play is the surprising truth revealed.

Under the direction of Daniel Lee White, the show features Rick Bagley, Emily Charleton, Rebecca Christie, W. Richard Johnson, Jonathan Perry, Sarah Reed and Audrey Robinson.
