Doors open at 6 p.m., and those attending can meet the cast prior to the show.
Tickets are $7. Tickets are on sale at Bank of the West, Chisholm Trail Theater, Karen’s Kitchen, All Midland National Banks, Patriot Pawn and Sports Grill & Bar. Tickets also may be purchased at the door, if available. There will be a silent auction for gift baskets.
The play is directed by Karen Walton.
Cast members include: Penny Dorado as Miss Samantha; Chad Frey as Rufus; Craig Douglass as Snot Nose Kid; Rhonda Bibb as Delilah; Elmer Funk as Otis McBelch; Barry Powell as Deputy Do Right; Todd Hanchett as Deputy Do Little; Bart Kellum as Lucifer Lefty; Ken “Frenchie” Frey as Smiley; Larry Barnhart as the Undertaker; Mark Hardtarfer as Clint; Dana Shifflett as the Mayor; Tim Polley as Hank; David Kliewer as Cletus; Don Reynolds as Little Bitty; April Reynolds as Miss Twitty; Melissa Flavin as Lilli Belle; Shannon Catlin as Dixie; Donna Fisher as Miss Priss; Sherri Buss-Rawlins as Tempest Temperance; and Rose Owens is Lulla Belle.
The plot goes like this: The sheriff of Newton just has been shot, allegedly by gunslinger Lucifer Lefty, who claims to be the fastest gun in the Kansas Territory. (He also happens to be the smelliest and has the worst halitosis in the West.) Gunslinger Snot Nose Kid, who keeps a hanky pinned to his shirt due to allergies, is quick to challenge Lucifer Lefty to defend his claim to fame. The rest of the town is just as entertaining as these two oddballs — Deputy Do Right, Deputy Do Little, Otis McBelch (the town drunk who gets intoxicated by sarsaparilla due to a rare digestive disorder) and Tempest Temperance, Miss Priss of the Temperance Society, to name a few, according to a news release.
Just after Miss Samantha (the prettiest dance-hall girl in Newton) leaves town to find a new sheriff, suddenly a new sheriff appears to fill the vacancy, and the whole town is worried because he has a mustache and Snot Nose Kid despises facial hair, having suffered the embarrassment of a father who was a bald barber and a mother who had a full beard.
