Wagon Wheels A-Rollin’ Presented By The Vagabond Players
El Campanil Theatre, 8:00pm
602 W 2nd St. Antioch
Saturday October 26, 2013 8:00 pm
Sunday October 27, 2013 2:00 pm
Woe falls upon Chuck Wagon’s wagon train, stranded at notorious Whistling Skull Rock outside the tiny town of Vinegar Bottle, famed for its “I’m OK, You’re OK Corral” and crawling with villains and bandits! This fast-paced spoof of the Old West is filled with a goofy stable of hilarious characters: hero, Chuck Wagon; sweet heroine, Candy Cane; the villainous crooked card dealer, Smiling Slade Clagget; Wild Bill Hiccup; the Hamm sisters, Virginia and Glazed; fascinating Senorita Juanita Fandango; and Clagget’s evil ally, Sue Flay. Mixed with action and a laugh a minute, this is an audience participation comedy, where you can boo the outlaw, cheer on the hero, and experience the hysterical best of the West! Cowboy hats and kerchiefs encouraged.
Runtime: 1 hour 20 minutes. No Intermission
