Northstar Chorus Annual Show, 1993

Story Synopsis:   There was an old lady who lived in a shoe, it looked like a sound shell -- what can you do?  But her boys entertained her all the day long, by sweet serenading with barbershop song.  Now her Henry has left her, that heel, and what's more, the rent's overdue and the wolf's at the door.  Can Mother Goose help her?  Can Mom rise to glory? To tell any more would just ruin the story.  To find out the rest, sit tight and hang loose, while we deftly butcher poor old Mother goose.
