“Miss Vulcan 1939,” Vulcan Park

Posted on September 3, 2007 | Leave a comment

We’ve seen Shakespeare in the park but new this weekend is Vulcan Park, 1701 Valley View Drive, hosting a musical. You’re invited to special outdoor performances of “Miss Vulcan 1939,” by the Red Mountain Theatre Company. The original work is described as the “unpredictable and (somewhat) true story of a meek dime store clerk who challenges the city’s debutantes in a beauty pageant to crown Vulcan’s queen.” Make it a date night Saturday by ordering a gourmet picnic dinner from A Social Affair to enjoy while listening to the pre-show sounds of Emily DeLoach. Sunday’s entertainment includes a Kidzone and scavenger hunts. On both days, ticket holders will be able to tour the park grounds, museum and observation balcony. Find all the details and order tickets on the Red Mountain Theatre Web site.

Saturday cost:$20, 4 and under free

Sunday cost: $20 for adults, $10 for children 5-12, 4 and under free
