Alaska or…The Secret of Yonder Mountain
Summer silliness in Old Town Spring
By Lee Williams
Published on August 09, 2007
Summer silliness abounds in Old Town Spring. The Ace Theatre’s melodrama Alaska or…The Secret of Yonder Mountain tells the tale of a girl who fears her man has died (aw, sniffle, sniffle). When she goes searching for him, she discovers that he’s struck it rich in the Alaskan mountains (oh, happy days!). But real trouble starts after he meets a couple of shady ne’er-do-wells looking to steal his fortune (boo-hiss). The characters have names like Persephone Proudheart, Cyril Twigbucket and Goldust Gertie, so the story can’t possibly turn out badly. Well, at least not for Persephone and Cyril. We can’t say the same for Goldust.
