The Great American Melodrama kicks off its summer season of exciting
melodrama on June 18 with Gold Fever at the Rough and Ready. A blend of
melodrama and comedy, this action packed show brings the mining camp of
Rough and Ready, California roaring to life with heroic action, love,
betrayal, deceit and villainy.
Written and directed by Neal LaVine (author
of last year’s hit, Showdown at Slick Rock Ranch), the play centers on the
good but sometimes dim Sheriff Bartly Townsend (Andrew Beck), who finds
himself attracted to both the vivacious saloon owner Lotta Crabtree (Natasha
Harris) and the mysterious girl with many secrets, Eugenia Jones (Katie
Worley). The sheriff finds himself at odds with the villainous Phileas
Cramner (Chuck McLane) who is scheming to cheat the local miners (John
Keating, Casey Ross and Billy Breed). This sensational show offers loads of
opportunities to boo the villain, cheer the hero, and laugh yourself silly
at the crazy antics of the colorful characters that inhabit the rough and
tumble world of the California Gold Rush!
