3 bandits and a baby

Also known as "Liars, and Scoundrels and Villains ... Oh My!"

From the small old western town of San Juan Capistrano just after the California Gold Rush ... this musical melodrama fondly retells the story of gamblers, rainmakers, fortune-tellers, entertainers, and bandits of the old west. Also, thrown in is a good measure of lost love, lost youth, re-found love, and one "orphaned girl" in need of a father.

Characters include ... the take charge sophisticated owner of the local saloon - Misty Meaner, the gypsy - Crystal Ball, the Outlaw - Robin Banks, the rainmaker impresario scientist and con-man - Professor Stratus, Kitty and Ally Katz, the dashing card-shark - Jack Potts, the sheriff - Evan Meaner, his deputy - Pat Downe, and the less than honest banker - Bill Foldes.

Get ready for a generous supply of family-friendly fun old-time music and humor. Be sure to watch the video preview online to see the rainmaker's show, the outlaw's backstory, and the musical hoopla that goes on every night in the Misty's Hideaway saloon.

This may become your new favorite play ... for its music and melodramatic message. There are three villains so it is three times the fun.
