Hello! My Baby - A celebration of 38 years with Kortney Stirland

Kanab Area Community Theater's 38th year of bi-annual summer musical production. This show is a special tribute to our Director Kortney Stirland and will feature his amazing skills on the piano!

A hilarious and timely “new-fashioned” musical that follows the origins of the first all-American art form: popular music.

Mickey McKee, teen King of the Song-Pluggers, dreams of writing the next crackerjack million-selling hit-song. Only he can’t write a note… until he meets Betty Gold, a seamstress in a factory, who is bursting with music and moxie. She becomes Mickey’s partner/sweetheart/arch-nemesis when she pulls on the trousers that she once sewed to be named the new King of the Pluggers. As they navigate first love, class-struggles, social reform, street-gangs, tap-shoes and ukuleles, Mickey, Betty and company make Tin Pan Alley sing and dance again, selling the songs that we’re all still humming a hundred years later.
