Our 2nd semester Drama production,
Shakespeare Goes to Gravel Gulch, is this weekend at the Colonnade. Friday at 7:30, Saturday at 2;30 and 7:30, and Sunday at 2:30. Here's a brief synopsis for you.
Ah, Shakespeare in the... Old West?! The lovely Sunny Day arrives in the small mining town of Gravel Gulch with a troupe of actors determined to bring culture to the locals. Unfortunately, the troupe of actors, headed by the conceited and shady Noble Hart, is enough to make a playwright cry. Sunny Day 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? Maybe the show isn’t all that Noble Heart and his cohort, the Duchess, are trying to steal! 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. With more would-be outlaws, some stranded performing artists training to be window mannequins and a surprise ending, you will be cheering, booing, and holding your sides with laughter in this wild theatrical bonanza!
l hope you can join us for one of the shows this weekend. The students and I would enjoy having you there. Tickets for you are complimentary, so free! We do ask that you pay for anyone you might bring with you. General admission is $12.
