Make Me A Cowboy

The new western musical comedy “Make Me A Cowboy” will have you laughing and singing all through the night!  "Make Me A Cowboy” is set in Kansas, the late 1880's, on a ranch known as “The Jumpin’ J”. The railroads are running full-steam, forcing cowboys out of the herding business, placing the entire ranch in danger of closing its doors forever.

The ranch owner and his wealthy brother (both hailing from St Louis) devise a plan to keep the ranch financially afloat: Instead of herding cattle, they will herd eager city slickers (for a wee fee, of course) into a no-hold’s barred, true-grit education on the cowboy way of life!

That’s right, for a small price, city folk can actually learn how to be real ranching cowhands!  The cowboys at the Jumpin J have put together and rehearsed a show to enlighten, endear and educate: a performance to show all what it’s like to be a genuine cowboy!

However, cowhands aren’t playwrights and though they planned this extravaganza to the best of their abilities, mishaps and unplanned shenanigans force these cowboys into a whimsical ride of impromptu, fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants action!
