MISS VULCAN 1939

Synopsis

Just like “beauty”, “ugly” is in the eye of the beholder, in this tale that transports present day Birmingham , Alabama , back to 1939 and even to mythical Rome .  Audience members are enlisted to participate in this frolicking and campy tale of competition, hypocrisy and class warfare.

           After insulting the revered statue of the Vulcan in his Birmingham , Alabama , park, a tour group is transported back to 1939 to relive the contest that crowned Miss Vulcan 1939.  Of course, three of the city’s debutantes expect one of them to win, but when it appears that Evelyn Tully, the Kresses Five and Dime store clerk, may enter the fray, the debutantes want to make sure that status maintains its role on top of the heap.  . 

Using their sexual, culinary and blackmailing talents, the debs spare no effort to win the contest.   However, they don’t have a lovesick young inventor and a loyal store owner on their side.   Will Miss Vulcan even be from Birmingham ?  After all, ladies from the audience are competing, too.  In the end, love must conquer all, mustn’t it?
