After 37 years, SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS broke the box office attendance record for Garland Summer Musicals and brought joy to everyone in attendance. But now, the show is closed and the cast has scattered to all parts of the country. Just remember your Milly will always have hot muffins waiting!
Lauren is performing in a one-night only fundraiser for RAICES, July 30th at Stomping Ground Comedy Theater.
An evening of hope, love and music. Join some of your favorite DFW actors, accompanied by Pam Holcomb-Mclain, as they raise their voices to demand our country be a safe haven for all. This is a pay-what-you-can event, and all proceeds will go to RAICES’ efforts to help immigrant families and children in detention centers find freedom and be reunited with their loved ones. BYOB or enjoy beer from Hop and Sting Brewery.
Featuring songs from “Ragtime”, “Waitress”, “Into the Woods”, and more, plus performances from some of Stomping Ground’s favorite comics.
