The Texas Slim cast will present two performances at the First
Baptist Church multi-purpose center on November 5 and 7.

the South Pacific in 1944”, according to a release from the
Eastland Centre for the Arts. Texas Slim, played by Ron

Dorothy Kea, will headline a star-studded cast portraying Betty
Grable, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, The Andrews Sisters, Judy
Garland, Doris Day, Danny Kaye, Les Paul, Mickey Rooney, Peggy
Lee, Gene Krupa, Carmen Miranda, Kate Smith and others.
As with the Texas Slim’s Eastland Opry performed last May, all
net proceeds of the performances will go toward restoration of
the Lyric Theater and its adjacent buildings on the west side of
the Courthouse Square.
