TIMBER LAKE PLAYHOUSE IS ONE OF THE OLDEST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL SUMMER THEATERS IN THE MIDWEST, LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF MT. CARROLL, ILLINOIS, ABOUT 45 MINUTES FROM MAQUOKETA.    WE SAW "CABARET" SUNDAY AFTERNOON.    GOOD PRODUCTION!     THE THEATER IS LOCATED IN A WOODED AREA NEAR THE SMALL LAKE.... WITH LIVING QUARTERS FOR THE SUMMER ACTORS BEHIND.    THIS SCENE....AT
INTERMISSION TIME.    IT SEATS ABOUT 250.      GOOGLE FOR THEIR
WEB SITE FOR MORE INFORMATION.   THEY  HAVE ONE MORE PRODUCTION
THIS SEASON.
