Shakespeare Comes to Calamity Creek shakespeare_graphic


October 20th, 21st, 23rd and 24th

Ah, Shakespeare in the ….Old West?  Noble Hart, a conceited actor, arrives in the small mining town of Calamity Creek determined to bring culture to the locals.  His troupe of actors is enough to make a playwright cry.  The one exception is the lovely Sunny Day.  She falls for Texas Ranger Johnny Lasso, who’s hot on the trail of a notorious crook masquerading under the name of Gentleman Dan, whose true identity is unknown.  It’s almost as if he was a master of disguise like … an actor, perhaps?  The troupe’s arrival thrills the townspeople, except Abagail Pettigrew, the richest person in town.  She’s harboring a dark secret about her former occupation as Pogo, The Woman Who Can Walk Up and Down Stairs on Her Head.  The town is also filled with some stranded dancers, a few would-be outlaws,  striking gold miners, and many other crazy characters.  The stage is set for a wild musical bonanza!
