Blazing Guns at Roaring Gulch
by Way Off Broadway Community Players

Jun. 08 (2015)

This is a blazing, rip-roaring, pistol packing comedy that is for young and old alike.  The action takes place in the lobby of the Roaring Gulch Hotel, where the hero, Harry Heartstone, is found in hot pursuit of the villain, Snipe Vermin…who happen to be twin brothers!  It is inevitable that the two should meet in a face-to-face gunfight that takes place in a most interesting manner.  Join our heroine, Willie Lovelace, as her heart battles her head while she searches for true love among mistaken identities. Root for Martha Muldoon as she stumbles across her long lost love. Boo the bad hearted Widow Black as she tries to take control of Roaring Gulch and those that live there. 


The Roles:

Willie Lovelace – The young lady sheriff,  very feminine; tries to look “tough”

Barney Black - Good-natured, hard working hotel clerk; stepson of Widow Black

Bill Filbert - A young man trying to find his place in the world (plays the guitar)

Snipe Vermin - A western desperado 

Harry Heartstone - Vermin's Twin brother (speaks with an English accent).

Widow Black - Evil, greedy, and power hungry hotel proprietress

Martha Muldoon - A long-time famous actress.
Colonel Crabtree - Long time actor and leader of an acting troupe. 

Flora - A silly young actress in the acting troupe.

Dora - A silly young actress in the acting troupe.

Note: Snipe and Harry are played by the same actor
