About the Show

A western play about a scholar facing an outlaw in his new home.

When Ransome Foster, a scholar from New York City, first came to the town of Twotrees he arrived bloody and beaten. But after a quick recovery and a promise to a young woman to help her learn to read, Foster begins to change the small town he starts to call home with love & education, catching the attention of Liberty Valance, an outlaw who seeks to restore his view of ”the norms of society” through terror & bloodshed.

A classic western tale of good versus evil, of law & order versus intimidation & violence, of one man against Liberty Valance.

"A production wanders into town, kinda like an aimless cowpoke, with no advance notice and little previous reputation, and turns into a fine contribution to the community."
