THE STORY
|
The HYPAS (Hooterville Young People's Agricultural Society) need a new club house, so the
Hooterville Players decide to put on a benefit play in order to earn the money.
The Hooterville Players can't decide between "Romeo and Juliet," "Death of a Salesman," or
"I, Wilderness," so they choose to perform "The Beverly Hillbillies."
Eb receives a complimentary script from some guy named Jay Sommers (The creator of the Beverly
Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, and, of course, Green Acres), and decides to
"punch it up" to add a few yucks.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Ziffel gets a bad cold, and Eb Sprains his ankle, so the play is
without its Granny and Jethro. Oliver and Lisa step in to save the day.
The play never does see opening night though, as at dress rehearsal, Oliver slips
on a skateboard, careens through set wall, and breaks his big toe.
