SONG OF THE CANYON KID EXCERPT
EVIL RETURNS...WITH A BAD FRENCH ACCENT!
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.

WHO WAS THAT MASKED MAN?
NOT HIM.
THE OTHER GUY!
Brian Ryan, the mild-mannered sheriff of Parched Throat, Arizona adopts the guise of a masked avenger known as The Rogue to rescue the Clayfoot Indian tribe from the clutches of Randolph Hitlear, an ex-Confederate general out to steal their gold in order to finance another Civil War. A western comedy melodrama filled with laughs, romance and more fun than a barrel full of lizards on a tequila bender.
