Margaret Mitchell might be turning over in her grave. But then again, she might be laughing hysterically. We will never know.

But the author of the beloved literary classic Gone With The Wind would certainly have a boisterous reaction one way or the other. And Burien audiences will, too, when they experience the affectionate, pun-filled spoof of the Old South with Breeders Theater's newest offering, Gone With The Wine.

Come to think of it, Wine is not just a spoof of the well-known novel, but a comic sequel as well. Here we have a story where the Old South meets the Wild West. There may not be Clark Gable or the burning of Atlanta, just good old Breeders Theater fun.

First, we meet our heroine Tara (Julie Haakenson), an empty headed Southern belle who owns a struggling yam plantation. Tara is not without her gentlemen suitors, most notably the dashing Dashley (Luke Amundson). To her dismay, Tara loses her Dashley to the sweet-natured Malady (Melissa Grinley), but along comes the charming stranger Brett (William Hamer) who sweeps Tara off her feet, and soon leaves her to wallow in her own yams.

Upon figuring out that yams don't make the best wine, Tara, along with her butler Rhett (Steve Coffey), hitches a wagon heading west to make her fortune as a grape farmer, a fruit she learns makes a slightly better wine.

Along the way, they meet Calamity June (Marianne Everett) and Grizzly (Eric Hartley), who guide the wayward Southerners to their destination. The rest, as they say, is silly, comedic history.

Last week's preview audience chuckled delightfully at the Breeders Theater humor inundated with political satire, local Puget Sound-area references and, of course, Bredders Theater's signature puns.

As with any Breeders Theater show, Burien's E.B. Foote Winery supplied a variety of award-winning wines to taste, which included their silver medal 2005 Chardonnay, their Rainy Day Red III (a wonderful blend of Syrah and Cabernet) and their 2002 Merlot.

The usually array of popular hors d'oeuvres and some fine acting around out the evening, making for a good time for all. Be sure to watch Breeders Theater veteran Marianne Everett, who turns in an energetic performance as trail guide Calamity June.

Normally cast in roles that almost seem to disappear among the other members of the Breeders Theater ensemble, Everett finally gets her moment to shine, creating a fun character who comes close to stealing her scenes.

Second-time Breeders Theater performer Kelly Johnson chews up the scenery as the evil Nettie-and doesn't look half bad in a red wig!

Another Breeders Theater regular, Doug Knoop, takes the reins as director this time out. Confessing to a bit of nervousness in making his directorial debut, Knoop seems like a natural. His cast performs seamlessly from scene to scene.

Judging from the high energy and comic timing, Knoop has a knack at bringing out the best in his actors.

Gone With The Wine continues Friday-Sunday through Feb. 4 (yes, that's Super Bowl Sunday) at the E.B. Foote Winery, 127B S.W. 153rd St. Tickets are $20 and include wine tasting and hors d'ouerves.
