Waterloo Community Playhouse Presenting Monday

This week's Rotary meeting is at Waterloo Center for the Arts and our program is a preview of "Little Miss Sunshine."

Based on the Academy Award-winning film, Little Miss Sunshine is an outrageously funny and surprisingly touching musical. Energetic Olive, enters a regional children's beauty pageant, the family thinks that their luck could change and embarks on a cross-country trek, chasing the coveted title of "Little Miss Sunshine." The show is filled with warmth, humor and a tuneful score.

Waterloo Community Playhouse is offering 4 performances this weekend and you can purchase tickets online!
