The Old Theater Corporation
The Old Theater Corporation proudly presents its 2nd radio show, THE BIG GUNS: Or Whose Little Lily Is She? for your listening and viewing enjoyment. Set in a 1940s radio station, this show will be performed by actors in costume with sound effects and singing radio commercials.
With songs and smoking six-shooters, we’re here to tell the adventures and misadventures of two cattle barons and, most especially, of a beautiful young lady in search of … well, not the usual kind of gold in them thar hills. Is this a musical? Nope. But somewhat like Cat Ballou, Paint Your Wagon and a lot of John Ford westerns, it has music that made its way west. And what’s a rousing, sometimes rowdy western without a saloon gal? A saucy little filly known as Lily. A comic valentine to the cowboy and cowgirl heroes of bygone screen, radio and television—Gene, Roy, Hoppy, Coop, The Duke—with a tip of the Stetson to Calamity, Annie O, Belle Starr and Cat Ballou. A story of the Old West, but a different sort of a story. A tale with a twist. A rootin’, tootin’, six-shootin’ wing-ding of a western.
Join our “studio audience” as we step back in time for an old fashioned adventure!
