Children's Theatre Musicals
Many of our children's theatre musicals have fully orchestrated rehearsal and performance tracks on a flash drive. This means the first half of the tracks have vocals so youth actors can learn the music and the second half of the tracks have just instrumental tracks which you can play during your production.
The Saga of Dead Dog Gulch
Musical Theatre Youth by Wayne Simpson Joy Kurtz
52 pages
Flexible cast, approx. 10 m, 4 w (or 7 actors with doubling)
A one-set operetta about the 1880s Colorado mining town of Dead Dog Gulch - oops, we mean, Columbine Valley. You see, the ladies of the Beautification Society have purtied the town - the general store is now a pink "emporium," and even the jail - well, crime is down because no man would be caught dead in it! Now the miners are always fighting, that is, until the cowboys arrive and start shooting and making fun of this sissy town. The kids and ladies solve the problem but pretend the miners did it all. Unison songs. About 60 minutes.
