There isn`t much drama in Olive Town. The highlights of Cissy Sissney`s days are the letters from her old schoolteacher, Miss Loucien, describing her adventures on board an old showboat with the Bright Lights Theatre Company.

Then only the bravest, & grandest, in the land can hope to keep the final curtain from falling.
