...show as seductively idiotic as the Dunster House production of Anything Goes. The cast and company seem determined to sweep the audience away on the Good Ship Cole Porter, the decks awash with tap-dancing sailors, happy-go-lucky heroes wooing smitten but duty-bound heiresses, evangelists turned nightclub singers, and lovable gangsters on the lam, accompanied by accommodating molls.

...beleaguered sheriff is Earl Sabo, 48, a onetime security guard and a relative newcomer to Texarkana. His troubles began in 1974 when one of the town's leading attorneys, Harry Friedman, staged a country-music concert in back of a nightclub he owned.
