Strollers Theatre Presents 'The Miss Firecracker Contest' May 14, 2008

Carnelle Scott's only dream is to win the local beauty contest and gain acceptance from her small Southern town. But will tap-dancing, roman candles, and a misbehaving hoop skirt really help her do the trick? One of Beth Henley's most heartwarming and hilarious plays.

"A comic volcano of a play, populated by offbeat, but vital, larger-than-life characters." - The Hollywood Reporter
"This explosively funny play again demonstrates the author's unique gift for finding humor and wisdom in the zany activities of small-town life." - New York Times
