The beloved characters of the Beverly Hillbillies are making a triumphant return, but this time in the form of local actors gracing the West Point Community Theatre stage with their charm and humor. The production, spearheaded by director Marlene Wiechman and assistant director Jean Stieren, captures the essence of the original show with a unique theatrical flair.
For those familiar with the TV series, the stage adaptation brings forth a renewed affection for the characters, rekindling memories of the iconic Clampett family’s misadventures in Beverly Hills. The show promises a mix of humor, heart, and toe-tapping musical numbers.
