Charleston Mayor Backs Out Of Play
WEST VIRGINIA....
Charleston Mayor Danny Jones is dropping out of the title role of a local production of "Li'l Abner," saying the script has changed significantly since he played the role in 1986 in a Kanawha Players production. He was going to reprise it in a show opening September 24th to help out the financially struggling theater. Jones says, although he plans to donate about $20,000, he thinks someone younger should play L'il Abner.
