Synopsis:
Clarice DeLovely, a beautiful young London actress, arrives in Cactus Junction, Texas, to manage a small bookshop that she inherited from her late father. Little does she know that Sylvester Swineheart (a devious and distant relative) is planning to take over the shop and is in cahoots with crooked Sheriff Hornswoggler, who schemes to put the young mummer six feet under, along with her traveling companion, Winifred Snitwhistle, a grande dame of the British stage. Complicating matters are a charming book-publishing heiress, Fann C. Free, and the shy and studious Chester G. Whilakers, who carries a torch for the lovely DeLovely. With many plot twists and turns the "good guys" fight their way through a tangle of jokes, puns, and show-biz humor while saving the day.

Synopsis:
Adora Winsome, a lovelorn widow, is stuck with a cluttered workshop after the death of her husband, an unsuccessful inventor who left them nothing but a strange "talker box." She and her beautiful daughter Charmaine have sent for a patent application for the apparatus, but they don't know a thing about it. Frankie Fixitt, the lab assistant, lends a helping hand. After all, he is secretly in love with Charmaine. But what good is the patent application if the talker box is in the clutches of greedy landlord Gustav Guttermost and his flirtatious confederate, Ima Foxx? The two villains barge in to collect the rent and steal the valuable invention while they're at it. Of course, their efforts are thwarted when Cashin DeVault, the dashing banker-and Adora's old flame-arrives just in time to catch Ima and Guttermost red-handed. Love and justice prevail, as it should be!

Synopsis:
Caution: The humor in this play may be a bit dry. Set in Tarantula, TX at the turn of the last century, a humble well-digger, Hardrock Flint, and his soon-to-be son-in-law, Gus, have set out to strike it rich by digging wells, but all they've found so far is a lot of dirt. Meanwhile, the exceptionally evil Sly Snookerall has hatched a heartless scheme to steal the well-digger's homestead, send him to the poorhouse, and then marry his beautiful daughter, Dolly. Hardrock better find a way to dig himself out of this one, or he's going to end up at the Last Roundup Retirement Home!
