The Springer Opera House Presents Neil Simon's THE STAR SPANGLED GIRL October 15th - 31st, Columbus, GA.

Politics meets romance in this innovative revival by the king of Broadway comedy. Andy and Norman are barely making a living working on their magazine, which is dedicated to fighting the system. Sophie, an Olympic swimmer with a Marine Corps fiance', is a gorgeous all-American Southern girl who moves into the apartment next door. Naturally, Norman falls for Sophie, then the fireworks begin!

Directed by Kimberly Faith Hickman, the cast features Jason Horne, Maria Maloney, and Jens Rasmussen.
