Highlights
Synopsis
It’s tough when you’re the football coach in Texas.
You don’t have any money for helmets, your kids have to paint the field themselves, and you can never get enough boys to try out.
Meanwhile, the theater department is building a $22 million amphitheater for their new show and used four live elephants in their production of Dumbo .
When the star quarterback leaves the team to take a role as Peaseblossom in A Midsummer Night’s Dream , what’s a coach to do except try to find a cursed Monkey’s Paw to make a wish and change the world?
Except someone might have beaten him to it...
