WELCOME HOME, CANYON KID...
NOW REACH FOR THE SKY!
When a straight shooting, and guitar strumming singing cowboy known as The Canyon Kid returns to Dirt Clod, Missouri, he finds his hometown in the grips of a tyrannical albino “hanging judge” named Basil Kadaver and his evil co-horts, including the slinky gypsy seductress Nastassia Kinky and her half-witted brother, Two Gun Boris. To make matters worse for The Kid, he also discovers that his childhood sweetheart, Darla Darling, is engaged to a known desperado who is now the town sheriff. This fast paced story culminates in a knockdown, drag out slug-fest on the streets of Dirt Clod when justice at last triumphs and The Canyon Kid saves the day.

LA RUE'S RETURN
OR HOW'S A BAYOU?
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.
