Our 1984 show...
The Tales of Ham-A-Lot
– or –
Strike You, King Willie the Wimp
The scene is the kingdom of Ham-a-lot. An uprising, of sorts, is imminent as the peasants and serfs are threatening to strike if conditions don’t improve. Part of the solution to this problem, as you’ll soon discover, is to include them in a musical joust.
