~Gold Camp Theatre Troupe~
|
 |
We are Local Actors and 'Original Artists' performing Plays of the Bordertowns, Camp Towns & Rancheros of the Wild West~ Our current Production, 'Murder at the Miner's Camp Saloon'~ Our Scripts have been especially written or altered by the Playwright to fit various Cast members highly original and unique characteristics, thus the term, 'original Artists' thus providing for the audience, a rare opportunity to experience a production that seduces the actor to the part as much as the actor seduces the part to the play. We entice you to experience what some have expressed as "the Premiere Virgin Play", so pure is the exchange of concept to reality, of fantasy to factuality, as it were, that we have to pass out hankies during the performance. And what the hey, who are we to say it any better~

Big Nose Kate

Modest soul that she is, Big Nose Kate will most likely volunteer her opinion with 'just a little prodding' or 'even an 'inkling of encouragement' ever so delicately intended, or most likely, otherwise not, regardless, the resulting broadside undaunted and most assurdedly having the same conclusion forthwith!
