The musical adventure “Paint Your Wagon” is driving into Mt. Morris this spring.

In this musical, a farmer and a gold prospector partner up during the California Gold Rush. Their adventures include buying and sharing a wife, growing the gold town of Rumson overnight and watching the budding romance between the mayor’s daughter and the descendent of Spanish royalty, all while seeking their own fortunes. Along the way, there is plenty of hard living, good singing and local acting.

The Mt. Morris Performing Arts Guild, PAG, will perform “Paint Your Wagon” with all the grit and determination that local talent brings. Shows will be the weekend of April 17-19 and April 24-26 at the Allure of Pinecrest Grove Theatre.
