The Battle of Shallowford

By Ed Simpson

Cantey V. Sutton Theatre
October 5-21, 2007

Ed Simpson's play is an endearing story about what happens when the residents of the small town of Shallowford (based on Lewisville, NC) believe Orson Welles' radio broadcast of "War of the Worlds" to be legitimate news. They fall hook, line and sinker, and grab their pitchforks and hunting rifles, and run out to do battle with the invading Martians and save the world.

The cast of The Battle of Shallowford was:

• Burton Mock: Pat Berry
• Ruthie Mock: Kirsten Ehlert
• Lonny Hutchins: Jason Justice
• Clunette Campbell: Tim Cherry
• Roy Sprinkle: Shawn Smith
• Dewey Sowers:  Michael Saintomas 
• Newsome Jarvis: Phil Lewis
• "Doodad" Jarvis: David Corlett
• Fred Martin: Don Smith
