A wacky Wild West murder mystery.
April 19 – September 7, 2013
You, the townsfolk of Groaners Gulch, Nevada have gathered once more for the annual chili cook-off. What a shindig! You may even compete in the “Cowboy of the Year Contest,” but wait just a dog gone minute…there’s a showdown at the I’m O.K. You’re O.K. Corral. The sun is hot and the trigger fingers are itchy. Will the sheriff save the town from outlaws or vice versa? Become a patron of Miss Liddy’s saloon and participate in solving this wacky Wild West excuse for a murder mystery!

Murder In The Court

Buy tickets • Read audience comments
A kooky courtroom murder mystery.
September 13, 2013 – March 29, 2014
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! All rise for the honorable Judge Horton. Hanging Judge Horton, as he is not so affectionately called, is the most feared Judge in town. He can find a man guilty and have him in jail quicker than most judges can bang a gavel. To make matters worse, the mayor has fired every judge in town except him. Nothing, like saving a few tax dollars in an election year. Too bad, because there are some around here who think Judge Horton is a little nuts. Legend has it that Judge Horton once gave a guy “The Chair” for excessive parking tickets. But nuts or not, he’s the only judge in town. And it’s got folks a bit nervous. Prosecutors, defense attorneys, none of them want to take their chances with the hanging judge. Not to mention the sorry souls who throw themselves at his mercy. Yep, about the only one who gets along with old Judge Horton, is the bailiff, Rupert. But, come to think about it, Rupert just may be a little bit nuts himself. So sit back, relax, and hope you don’t get called for jury duty. And enjoy a little “Murder in the Court.”
