Lake Country Playhouse returns with melodrama

“Alone On The Range,” written by D. Chapelle, directed by Jeff Hurley, is on stage at the Lake Country Playhouse for the next two weekends. This comedy/melodrama cast includes lead actor Randy Parrish as “The Rattler,” Lauren Bright as Edwina Justice, Kay McEntire as Ms. DeHan, Daniel Robinson as Johnny Sterling and Sophia Donnelly as Mindy Manners.

Johnny Sterling is a brave young cowboy out to find The Rattler; the vile bandit who bushwhacked his pal. Before Johnny can bring justice to a lawless land, he needs to solve a few other problems. The first is getting the hero worshipping Mindy, a young settler he saved on the trail, back to her family. He also has to navigate his way around a traveling salesman who may know more about the bandit gang than he should and a stern schoolmarm. His major problem is Edwina, the widow of his friend. Could he be falling in love with her? Can Johnny set everything right before The Rattler strikes?

Cheer for the good guy, boo the bad guy and let The Lake Country Playhouse take you away from reality for a couple of hours. Show times are Friday, Feb. 12 & 19 and Saturday, February 13 & 20 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 14 & 21 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 for adults, $6 for children under 12 and are available at the door or online through Eventbrite.
