ST. PAUL, Minn. (UPI) -- A play about pioneer life will give way to
the reality of political life when the Republican National Convention
begins in St. Paul, Minn.
Accompanying the business of the convention are the parties and state
GOP conventions are gobbling up prime party venues, including the
Guthrie Theater where a musical version of Laura Ingalls Wilder's
classic "Little House on the Prairie" debuts Aug. 15, the St. Paul
Pioneer Press reported.
Among the possible party hosts at the sleek and architecturally
appealing Minneapolis theater is California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
and his state's delegation.
"From the moment our delegation staff saw and toured the facility, we
knew we had to include it some way in what we were doing," Charles
Moran, a spokesman for the California GOP party, told the Pioneer
Press.
A spokeswoman said Schwarzenegger hasn't finalized plans for the
convention but the party is tentatively titled "Welcome to Hollywood."
Guthrie spokeswoman Melodie Bahan said the Guthrie would suspend all
productions during the convention Sept. 1-4.
