Musical Pageant - "Laura's Memories", 2011

I had the distinct pleasure of performing as Rev. Brown in the Ozarks Mountain Players' production of "Little House Memories" a few years back.  That was a production that had a very long run, (over 20 years, if memory serves me) and it led into this production.  Many of the scenes from the first pageant are included in this one.  I also had the pleasure, as a member of the Ozarks Mountain Players, to be the one who suggested the title for this pageant.  (You might have noticed the similarity in the name, along with the name of my shop!)

"Laura's Memories" is an outdoor, musical pageant presented by the Ozark Mountain Players every summer in Mansfield.  The sole purpose of the group is to acknowledge and honor Laura Ingalls Wilder.  The pageant is performed by local actors and musicians.  If you enjoy family entertainment featuring music and acting focused on pioneer days, you will enjoy this pageant.

This year's performances are scheduled (usually rain or shine), in the large, "Gem of the Ozarks" outdoor theater.  It is located adjacent to the Mansfield School Complex, in the city park.  Tickets are available at the gate, one hour prior to each performance.  The evenings begin with a pre-show, followed by the pageant at 7:30 PM. Here is the schedule:
