In the nursery rhyme justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups — the detectives, who investigate the crime, and the magistrates, who prosecute the defenders. These are their rhymes. The Inspector and the Punnish Sir (Yes, he’s always scrambling for egg puns!) have been called in to investigate a crime scene where a Mister Humpty Dumpty has been found shattered and fowl play is suspected. Can they solve the c-rhyme? With hilarious musical numbers like “Mountain of Love,” “Eggicide” and “What the HONK Is Going On?,” the yolk’s on you if you think this tongue-in-cheek musical is for young children. There are so many puns and plot twists in this Law and Order spoof, even the playwrights were surprised by the ending!

This production is made possible, in part, by the generous support of The City of Yankton.

Pa Herford loves his five daughters, but there are days he wonders if he should have just raised puppies! All the girls up in the hills are suffering from what Pa calls "The Hankerin’," for they all want to get hitched — and "Any Ol’ Man’ll Do," as they sing in hillbilly harmony. The only exception is Charlemaine, who only loves her books. But everything changes when government man Marcus Slidell shows up to buy land from the Herfords. Whooo-eee! Is everyone in for a wild ride then! With hilarious hillbilly songs such as "Thar’s a Guv’mint Man in the Holler," "She Has Waaaayyys!," "I Cain’t Fight Love" and "Fer True an’ Fer Shore," this hysterical musical will have your audiences stomping in the aisle. You’ll have a rip-roarin’ great time with these Hankerin’ Hillbillies!
