Laundries are big business in the mining town of Digalittledeeper.  The ’Tub and Scrub’ is operated by Olympia Klenz and Sweet Sally.  The young sheriff is in love with Sally, but every time he gets close, he turns into a babbling fool.  Meanwhile, our villain, Phineas Flatworm, discovers Olympia has been rinsing gold flecks from miners’ laundry for years, and she’s amassed a tidy sum.  The villain figures if he had the only laundry in town, he’d make a million!  With the aid of his hilarious mother, Mrs. Mugwump, and Lola-Lola, a talentless flamenco dancer, he gets control of the ’Tub and Scrub.’ Lola-Lola plans to marry Phineas, but not if Mrs. Mugwump has anything to say about it!  The other laundries ’mysteriously’ burn down.  Mayor Haggle gives the ’Tub and Scrub’ a civic award, and a ghost accuses the villain of his crimes.  The highlight of the wacky spoof is a laundry fight that hasn’t been equaled since the pie-tossing days of silent films.  The evildoers are brought to the soap-bar of justice, and the sheriff conquers his shyness and proposes to Sweet Sally.

Join us in a new fun fundraising opportunity! Purchase soft tomatoes to toss at the stage towards the actors as they portray eccentric and over the top characters.

August’s poetry prompt is “Distraction.” Buzzing phones. Wandering thoughts. That song stuck in your head. Distraction is everywhere—sometimes a nuisance, sometimes a refuge. This month, we invite you to explore the beautiful mess of a mind pulled in a thousand directions. Write about the moment you lost your train of thought, or found a surprising truth when you did. Maybe your poem will follow a meandering path, drift into daydreams, or tumble through the chaos of trying to focus. Whether it’s funny, chaotic, reflective, or unexpectedly profound, let your words wander. Sometimes, getting sidetracked is exactly where the story begins.
