Now Playing! Our final Melodrama of the summer season!

"A Golden Fleecing" or "The Undermining of Sarah Sweetflower's Sarsaparilla Saloon and Bridal Shoppe", written by R. Eugene Jackson and directed by Nancy Johnson, with musical direction by Levi Livingood.

Sarah Sweetflower has inherited Cactus Bob's Saloon in the ghost town of Elbow's Bend. It is here that she plans to open Sarah Sweetflower's Sarsaparilla Saloon and Bridal Shoppe with the help of our hero, Stanley Stoutheart. But the villainous Sly Scavenger and his accomplice, Miss Twinkle Toes, are more interested in Cactus Bob's lost gold mine. The enlist the help of a professional gunfighter, Big Bad Granny, as they attempt to do away with Sarah! Will they succeed with their nefarious plan? or will they be foiled by the town's only permanent resident, Tumbleweed, who doubles as both the town judge and constable? Will Stanley Stoutheart save the day and the mine? or will he only get the shaft?

"A Golden Fleecing" plays August 27, 28, 29, September 3, 4, 5, 10, 11 and 12. Adult tickets are $8. Students and Seniors pay a paltry $7 - or check out the Dinner and Theatre options available by clicking the Hubbell House graphic.
