​SONG OF THE CANYON KID EXCERPT

---

COMING JANUARY 2020 TO THE GRAHAM REGIONAL THEATRE IN GRAHAM, TEXAS!

The deliciously wicked criminal Jacques La Rue arrives in New Orleans to exact his vengeance on those who sent him toprison...especially frail Southern belle Polly Montclair, proprietress of the French Quarter bistro known as Chez What. Standing in his path are the courageous, yet dim U.S. Cavalry officer Lt. Alan Wexstad and the whacked out witch known as the Swamp Crone. 

LA RUE'S RETURN or HOW'S A BAYOU? is a hilarious riff on the classic melodrama filled with outrageous characters, breakneck slapstick action and a swashbuckling sword fight in the swamp thrown in for good measure. 
The cast consists of 4 men, 3 women.

A western comedy melodrama filled with laughs, romance and more fun than a barrel full of lizards on a tequila bender. 

THE LEGEND OF THE ROGUE or MASK ME NO QUESTIONS has a cast of 6 men and 4 women.
