Day Trip Opportunity - Totem Pole Bus Trip - August 11 | South Pacific Returning to the Totem Pole Playhouse stage for the first time in more than 30 years, immerse yourself in the sweeping romance of South Pacific, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s timeless Broadway masterpiece set on a lush island in the South 14 Pacific during World War II.
