So make your plans now to attend this superb weekend in Akron the end of July. There is a tremendous

sponsorship of the local CocaCola bottling plant. However, the company of stars turn out to be Pepe's disastrously inept four member family who proceed to stumble their way through a series of hilariously horrible nightclub acts. The singers can't sing, the dancers can't dance, the magician cheats, the ventriloquist's dummy is real, the acrobats fumble one another, and the entire evening is a nonstop riotously funny catastrophe.

The show is presented by the Cleveland Heights Parks and Recreation department through special arrangement with the Cleveland Coca-Cola Bottling Company and the Playhouse Square Association.
