In the small town of Blaine, Missouri, community theater is not just an activity, it’s a destiny. Corky St. Clair and his wildly committed troupe mount a musical about local history with absolute sincerity and absolutely no self-awareness. The songs are questionable, the accents are bold, and the expectations are astronomical (especially for a theater critic who may or may not exist). A loving roast of amateur theater and the people who make it magical.
