Hickory- Hickory Community Theatre adds two more performances for The Trail to Oregon.
Audiences cannot get enough of the hilarious history on The Trail to Oregon. This laugh-out-loud musical has already sold out the extension this weekend. So two more additional performances are scheduled for Friday and Saturday, April 3 and 4 at 7:30pm in the Firemen’s Kitchen.
These are the absolutely final performances of this calamity‑packed frontier romp — skip it and you’ll be kicking yourself harder than a busted wagon wheel.
Tickets are $18 for adults and $12 for youth and students. Due to adult language and content, the production is recommended for ages 18 and up. Tickets are available at hickorytheatre.org or by calling 828‑328‑2283.
The Trail to Oregon is produced by The Estate of Paul Sapp. Hickory Community Theatre is a funded affiliate of Arts Culture Catawba and receives sustaining support from the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. Season 77 support is provided by the City of Hickory, A Cleaner World, Shurtape Technologies, Acuña & Acuña Dentistry, and BelleAge.
