The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
MUSOC presents The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas!
6th-14th March 2020
Based on true events, this happy-go-lucky tale of small town vice and political side-stepping recounts the heydays and the demise of the Chicken Ranch, notoriously one of Texas’ finest bordellos since the 1850s. Politicians, townspeople, and even the local college football team frequent Miss Mona’s house of ill repute, but when puritanical consumer watchdog Melvin P. Thorpe turns his television cameras on the institution, the madam of the house finds herself fighting to preserve the ranch and protect her girls, while at the same time navigating a roller-coaster romance with town sheriff Ed Earl.
