”Vern in the Hills” 50th Anniversary Celebration, Bradley, MO
”Vern in the Hills” is celebrating its 50th year in production. A light-hearted production staged by the City Theater in Bradley, MO, ”Vern in the Hills” has been performed at the Thompson Outdoor Theater each summer since it first opened on May 28, 1956. Few theaters in such small cities are able to sustain a production over a course of so many years.
”Somehow we've become a classic, and part of the fabric of the community,” says artistic director David Frey, ”Going to ”Vern in the Hills” on a summer evening is just part of life here.” Mr. Frey is only the third director the production has seen in its fifty-year history. A fact that, Mr. Frey says contributes to the play's success.
”Vern in the Hills” does seem to be part of the fabric of the community. We loved the production. We observed several families with three generations having picnics and watching the play. It was clear that most people had seen it before. If you ever have the chance to see ”Vern in the Hills,” you will quickly understand how it became a classic.
