The Man Who Shot Community Theater
Liberty Valance
Winter / Spring 2020
WRITTEN BY: Jethro Compton
DIRECTED BY: Mia Mercado

February 22-March 8, 2020

When a young scholar from New York city travels west in search of a new life he
arrives beaten and half-dead on the dusty streets of Two trees. Rescued from the
plains, the town soon becomes his home. A local girl gives him purpose in a broken
land, but is it enough to save him from the vicious outlaw who wants him dead? He
must make the choice: to turn and run or to stand for what he believes, to live or to
fight; to become the man who shot Liberty Valance.

Fireflies

WRITTEN BY: Matthew Barber
DIRECTED BY: Kerry Jones

April 18-May 3, 2020

Audition: February 24-25, 2020

Retired schoolteacher Eleanor Bannister lives a quiet life alone in tiny Groverdell,
Texas, set in her routines and secure in her position as the town’s most respected
woman — until a hole in her roof draws the attention of Abel Brown, a smooth-
talking drifter intent on renovating Eleanor’s house, and possibly her life. Can the
unexpected sparks of late-life romance be trusted, or is there truth in the gossip
that Abel isn’t all that he seems to be? Either way, the whole town is talking.
