The Santa Fe Playhouse presents
THE 2008 FIESTA MELODRAMA:
The Corny Calamities
or
Stalks A-Risin' on the Santa Fe Trail
or
An Irreparable and Eerie Parable of the Prairie Ear
or
Crime on the Cob!
Written by an Anonymous Committee
Directed by Eliot Gray Fisher
Join in the fun as the cast delights you with this annual spoof on the City Different's politics, culture, and society. As Governor Grande returns from his failed campaign for statehood and the smell of elections is in the air, oily prospector Drilligan Shallowell tries to convince wary santafesinos to let him modernize their fair city. Who will save the gracious Juana Bienvenida from Shallowell's clutches? And what of the mysterious outsiders arriving in town? Find out at the Fiesta Melodrama!
