How is the best way to get your children to do what you want them to do? Forbid it! And that's what two fathers set out to do. They want their children to fall in love so they build a wall to keep them apart. The children do fall in love but then discover their fathers' plot. As a result, they each go their separate ways to discover the world, only to return with a deeper love for each other. A great musical score with such songs as "Try to Remember" make this production such a fun and popular one. Talents from around the area have combined to create a funny, whimsical show with a "Happy Ending." It is being directed by Gary Roney, President of the Board of Directors at Joplin Little Theatre, with Clint Newby, Musical Director and Gerrie Ellen Johnson, Choreographer. The cast includes: Randy Aleshire (Joplin), Elisia Conrardy (Carthage), Rowland Geddie (Lamar), James Goff (Joplin), Cheyla Navarre (Joplin), Andrew Noel (Joplin), Joseph Vega (Neosho), and J. J. Winfrey (Joplin).
