THIS IS A DISCOUNTED SMALL-CAST MINI-MELODRAMA

An Old West Melodrama customized for Online Readers’ Theatre or a shorter Duration play
Run Time is less than 1 hour.

Through the magic of Melodrama and the Internet … get transported to the much simpler year of 1883 in the small western town of Dixon for the story of a moved town, a lost love, a "rehabilitated" scoundrel, a jilted woman, and a framed sheriff. Boo at the Villain. Cheer for the mysterious Gypsy Claire Voyant and the heroine Sally Mander. And meet the heroic yet clueless sheriff Justin Credible. Of course, you can expect a whole slew of authentic old-time songs in this family friendly old west melodrama.
