“HOLLERWOOD”
By Elizabeth Orndorff
A “World Premiere” new comedy
from our local “famous” playwright, Liz Orndorff, “Hollerwood” is a
great example of how reality is only a state of mind. When Babe Dean
puts on her annual writer’s conference in Random Kentucky, mayhem,
and clever deception is the rule of thumb. Babe’s family sells folk
art and hillbilly relics to culture-hungry tourists. A big-city
professor is changed forever as his patience and fortitude is put to
the test.
