Tickets will be sold by PAG members in the Madera clubhouse lobby from 8 to 10 a.m. on a weekly basis throughout the month of November.

The title of this year’s show, The Grass Is Always Greener, is taken from the old saying, “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.” Cattlemen (or even us retired cattlemen) can really appreciate and understand what that phrase means and what can happen if acted upon. QC resident Bill Entwistle and his co-writing partner Gregg Carr have taken that phrase and applied it to our lives in this play. How many times have you wondered what your life would be like, “If only I could have that, then I would be happy”? What if you got your wish but discovered that everyone else’s lives changed except yours? Your life didn’t change, but theirs did. This is basically the premise for this show. It’s sort of a cross between It’s a Wonderful Life and The Twilight Zone, where Jimmy Stewart meets Rod Serling!
Get your tickets early to be sure that you do not miss out on this very enjoyable and entertaining evening!
