May 5 - May 21    The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas at The Camino Real Playhouse
A happy go lucky view of small town vice and statewide political side-stepping recounts the good times and the demise of the Chicken Ranch, known since the 1850's as one of the better pleasure palaces in all of Texas. Governors, senators, mayors, and even victorious college football teams frequent Miss Mona's cozy bordello until that puritan nemesis Watchdog focuses his television cameras and his righteous indignation on the institution. This boot-stomping portrait of small-town vice is uplifting and hilarious.
