“Mama Won’t Fly” is a hysterical comedy about a woman who is racing against the clock to get her feisty mother from Alabama to California in time for her brother’s wedding. Since her Mama won’t fly, the two must drive cross-country. Every conceivable and inconceivable mishap occurs during their trip.
Cathy Hansel-Edgerton stars as Mama (Norleen Sprunt) and Anne Bean stars as her daughter (Savannah Honeycutt.) Rounding out the cast are: Megan Cox as (Hayley Quinn), Robin Rhodes as (Tanya Dudley, Aunt Rema Jean, Edweena, & Kiki), Rick Kopp as (Denton Crawford, Cousin Chicken & Officer Dugger), Jo Kendall as (Essie & Juliette), Laura Morales as (Aunt Ardale & Sybil), Vinnie Conte as (Uncle Ferd & Ronald), Judy Keenan as (Great-Aunt Pawnee, Fanny & Teeta), Bruce Witton as (Mickey, Red & Kelvin), Herb Stump as (Mitch, & Spud Farley). With this veteran cast and with Kelly Wynn Woodland directing it, “Mama Won’t Fly” is destined to be a big hit for our 65th season!
