ABOUT THE SHOW

The lovable Clampett family rides onto the stage for an evening of hillbilly hilarity. Starting in the Clampett's mountain cabin, the play follows them through the discovery of oil, their invasion of hi-falutin' Beverly Hills society and the absurd adventures and ridiculous romances they encounter there.
