The comedy written by the local actor and founder of the Purple Rose Theatre Co. will run from June 19 through Aug. 30 at the Purple Rose.
This winsome comedy tells the fateful tale of a prairie showdown between a vagrant outlaw and a singing cowboy. Thrown together by unfortunate circumstances, Panhandle Slim and The Oklahoma Kid argue the virtues of mayhem, music and the meaning of life.
The show features original songs, as well as scoundrels, six-guns and a horse named Buttermilk.
The play will be directed by Guy Sanville and features PRTC Associate Artists John Seibert and Tom Whalen.
Advance donor sales begin April 28 and general ticket sales begin May 12.
"Growing Pretty," a world premiere by Carey Crim and directed by Michelle Mountain, runs through May 31.
The theatre is located at 137 Park Street in Chelsea. For tickets, call 734-433-ROSE. More information is available at www.purplerosetheatre.org.
