Event Description
Get out your chaps for this original Western comedy by the
award-winning Leaping Thespians. This show is back by popular demand
in Vancouver, and now touring Victoria!
The year is 1860, in a small dusty town in the BC interior, barely a
speck on the map. The saloon owner, Miss Kitty, plans a blackjack game
with the aim of swindling enough money to keep her dreams of a
women-run town alive. All is turned upside down when the blackjack
game draws unexpected guests, with guns, and a whole lot of stink
eye...
