Fun, fast paced and with a couple exceptions the students didn’t have to be especially good singers. And there were jokes for all age groups.
The Nifty Fifties was our first Pioneer Drama show and still our favorite. Carrie Wood,Waller High School, Waller, TX
Great size of cast and gender mix. Lots of fun songs — we got the audience involved with the hop dance number. Kids enjoyed it — parents enjoyed it. Martha Rockey, Troy High School, Troy, KS
For The Nifty Fifties, creating the malt shop was fun. We even served real hamburgers, French fries, Cokes, cream sodas and shakes. Cecil Purrington, Bowman Elementary, Anchorage, AK
