If you're ready for rowdy – want to watch heartthrob and goofy ranch hands and beautiful French cancan dancers – don't miss the South Barber drama class performing a comic melodrama, "Lost in Tumblerock." They perform this Friday and Saturday evenings at 7 p.m. in the SBHS Auditorium with their director and teacher Meagan Henry.

This play "will have you cheering the heroes, booing the villain and dancing the cancan as you find your way home. The old widow may lose the ranch, the innocent heroine is unjustly accused of robbery, and the hero must save them both from the clutches of the evil villain. 'Lost in Tumblerock' has everything you expect from a comic melodrama."

The new sheriff, Simon Surefire, took a wrong turn somewhere in the Midwest and ended up in Tumblerock just in time to help the citizens find the robber of many local businesses, including the Tumblerock Savings and Loan. As hard as he tries, he gets lost everywhere he goes, but he won't let his poor sense of direction stop him from carrying out his duty.

Rosaline and her sidekick Cecilia, disguised as Ross and Cecil, are on their way to the Show Palace Theatre in San Francisco with a wagon full of French cancan dancers. They take a wrong turn and end up at the Heartwell Ranch in Tumblerock. Ma Heartwell invites them to stay at the ranch with her and the rowdy ranch hands that she vows to turn into gentlemen.

Rosaline recognizes Mayor Darrell W. Devlin as the villainous Willy Devarau from her past. He uses the girls' disguises as a reason to accuse Rosaline and Cecilia of being the robbers. Simon is forced to arrest the two women, but he gets lost on the way to jail, giving Rosaline time to explain how Devlin kidnapped her and blackmailed her adoptive parents many years ago. When truth is brought to light and justice is served, everyone decides to stay in Tumblerock rather than trying to reach San Francisco.
