Li'l Abner
November 5 - 14, 2004, Palmdale Playhouse
Li'l Abner Photo Gallery
Backwoods beauty Daisy Mae wants to marry Li'l Abner. To do that, she must catch him in the annual Sadie Hawkins Day race. But the U. S. Government plans to use their "unnecessary" town to test atomic bombs. All of Dogpatch scrambles to save their hillbilly way of life. Great comedy and music combine to make an evening of pure fun.
For 43 years readers enjoyed Al Capp's Li'l Abner comic strip. It poked fun at politics, big business, science, and just about everything else. In the mid 1950's Li'l Abner came to life on Broadway. Now, 50 years later, it hits the big time: the Palmdale Playhouse.
