I'd Rather Be A Cowgirl

The Ballad of Red Wednesday & Duck Williams, outlaws on the run searching for the myth of Halcyon. Asking that all important question: “Is being a cowgirl all it's cracked up to be?” A tale of gender exploration, found family, and surviving in the harsh world of the American West. 

Join Red Wednesday, Duck Williams, and the musicians of Them There Cowboys round the campfire for a queer tale of adventure, found family, and exploring who you really want to be. Duck Williams is a runaway who doesn’t ever want to look back, Red Wednesday’s a mysterious and striking cowgirl who’s feared across the West, and holds her cards to her chest. Duck is questing for the mythical town of Halcyon, a place where all can truly be free to be themselves, if they can find it, and if it even exists at all… Red takes Duck under her wing, but is Duck just grateful for her help and companionship, or is there a deeper affinity with the idea of being a cowgirl, and embracing what they had been forced to repress? Interwoven with the musical storytelling and Queer Cuntry Stylings of Them There Cowboys. A story to warm your heart but make your hair stand on end, as you’re swept along for the ride of your life in wide open plains.

Following the performances on Wednesday, Friday & Sunday evenings, Them There Cowboys will perform a post-show set in The Glitch Theatre Bar. Queer cuntry music for the heart and soul from the finest cowpokes this side of the Old West. Entry to these bonus sets is included in the price of your ticket to the show and will take place upstairs in the bar after the conclusion of the play.
