The Caribbean Community Theater will present the comedy "The Miss Firecracker Contest," with the first performance on Friday, May 8.
The wacky comedy, written by Pulitzer Prize winner Beth Henley, will be performed six times at 8 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays, May 8-9, 15-16 and 22-23.

Carnelle thinks that winning a beauty contest will make her somebody in her small Mississippi community. The family and friends who help her are a dysfunctional bunch, who tackle life in their own peculiar ways.
