2020 SEASON
Celebrating 56 “Dinnertaining” Years
Ms. Mary & The Boys
Ms. Mary Glover and her hilariously dysfunctional family take you on a musical journey through their lives filled with soulful Motown and heartfelt gospel music! As the family matriarch, she teaches her sons the foundation of music according to Ms. Mary. The loss of a loved one, a childhood battle with Sickle Cell Anemia, and more leave a lasting impact on Ms. Mary’s life, which determines the course of The Boys’ musical education.
Through hard work, a few undeserved fines, and lots of determination, she grooms them into the singing sensation knows as 3STAX. They come to realize that love, especially the love of family, binds and overpowers any obstacle that life may bring.
