Stage your own Comic murder mystery event!

Shot in the Rockies!!

Saddle-up ‘n ho-down for this Wicki-Wicked Wild West Murder Mystery!


The year is 1850 and, with the Gold Rush full swing, professional newsreaders Hank Buckwheat and Daisy-May Knott are pedallin’ their tales around the far-flung corners of the U S of A. Most pertinently, they’re askin’ their audiences for help with an unsolved murder… At the Silver Dollar Saloon in Tumbleweed Gulch, Colorado, its local lawman, Sheriff John-Boy Roscoe, was shot dead ‘n left lyin’ in a pool of his own blood. But who would do such a ‘dang terrible’ thing…?

Clementine Gilmore, ex-showgirl, now owner of the Silver Dollar?

Randy Gilmore, Clementine’s brother, barman at the Silver Dollar?

Ol’ Duke Hazzard, a local gold prospector?

Chip Handpin, stagecoach driver?

Sister Gloria Excelsis, holy woman and guest at the Silver Dollar?

Fletch Bonanza, Wild West Show performer and guest at the Silver Dollar?

Or…

‘The Man With No Name’, a mysterious stranger bearin’ an uncanny likeness to the outlaw ‘Ringo Jackson’ who was recently ‘busted outa jail’ by his band o’brothers… ‘the Jackson 5’?

The two newsreaders along with the replacement sheriff (and the audience), will have to show ‘True Grit’ if they’re to whittle down ‘the Magnificent Seven’ in order to sort out the good from the bad and the ‘darn’ ugly!!??

 

Both the cowboy era and ‘Americana’ are satirised in this ‘rootin’-tootin’ humdinger of all-American comedy showdown! It’s vibrant stereotypical characters and tongue-in-cheek approach to the genre make it ‘mighty appealin’’ to a lively troupe.

 

‘Who Shot the Sheriff?’ has an approximate running time of one hour and fifteen minutes. It has 11 characters, 6M/5F. However, as both newsreaders can be played by an actor of either sex, it’s also possible to be staged with either 7M/4F or 6M/6F. There’s no facility for doubling-up, but all 11 characters have significant roles.
