The Ace in the Hole Players are currently promoting their upcoming production of The Music Man, encouraging the community to come and enjoy a night of live musical performance and dining. Further details about their partnerships with local venues were not provided.
For those who missed their inaugural production, Trouble in the Bighorns, the Ace in the Hole Players involved scriptwriting, musical direction, auditions, and performance. The company is looking forward to continuing to bring community-based live theater to Sheridan.
The Ace in the Hole Players, through their upcoming production of The Music Man, aim to capture the public pulse, offering a blend of lifestyle and entertainment that promises an unforgettable night of live musical performance and dining. As they continue to revive the classic dinner theater format in partnership with local venues, the company hopes to engage the community and enrich the cultural scene of Sheridan.
