SYNOPSIS:
The town is bustling with elections, cattle drives, promises of a railroad, and murder! Horace Grimsby, the wealthiest Cattle Baron in Texas, has been found dead in his office and it’s up to Marshal Jim Courtright to bring the killer to justice.
Did the Mayoral nominee Rooster Montebank get involved in an election scandal? Could the lead reporter for the International Inquisitor, Barbara Wawas, have made her own headlines? Perhaps Buster Beggs, the gentle sheep herder, was bullied by the bull king one too many times. Or was his wife, Emma Grimsby, tired of marriage and looking to get rich quick?
CAST OF CHARACTERS:
Marshal Jim Courtright (Male, Age Range: 30-65) – Jim is the steady rock in this field of crazy characters. This likeable peace officer will have to lay down the law if he’s ever going to figure out who killed Horace Grimsby.
Barbara Wawas (Female, Age Range: 21-65) – Extra! Extra! Barbara has big dreams of being a legitimate reporter, but for now she’ll settle for any story she can get. After all, any publicity is good publicity.
Buster Beggs (Male, Age Range: 21-65) – This tender sheepherder is known for his love of animals and singing what’s on his heart to anyone who will listen. Has Buster’s years in anger management helped prepare him to keep calm during Horace’s Sheep War?
**The roles of Rooster and Emma have been pre-cast.
