the clueless sheriff
This is the Small-Cast version of "The
Broken Badge"
Through the magic of Melodrama, we are transported to that much simpler year of 1896 ... for the retelling of tale of the old west ... in a time before the crash ... a time before two world wars ... a time of Heroes and Villains.
This Play welcomes the audience back to the small western town of San Juan Capistrano (or your town if you want) for the story of a lost love, a "rehabilitated" villain, a jilted woman, and a framed sheriff. Familiar melodrama friends have returned including ... that scoundrel Professor Mack, the Judge Jerry Mander and that irrepressible Gypsy Claire Voyant. New friends include Justin Credible, and Sally Mander (her friends call her "San Juan Sally"). All served up with a generous supply of family-friendly old-time music. It is the story of heroes and villains, but mostly about doing what is right ... no matter the cost. How very Melodramatic.
