BOOM
The musical Boom was this weekend at the Kilgore High School auditorium. This musical depicting life in the East Texas Oil Fields during the boom era was written by Dr. Lottie Guttry and produced by Elizabeth Hodges. Members of the cast were made up from Kilgore and the surrounding communities, right here in East Texas. Characters depicted were Lone Wolf Gonzaullas, Mattie of Mattie's Ballroom, boomers like Jim McKeever and too many other parts to mention each. (photos top clockwise) The cast at the end of the show.
