Bourbon County Community Theatre presents “The Railroad is a Comin’ (Or Scam I Am)’’ written by BCCT Vice President Mark Bergmann.

Bergmann says the show is, “The world premiere of a totally fabricated true story about the founding of the first railroad in Fort Scott.”

The hero and heroine from last year’s melodrama return to the story this year. Bull Driver is played by Tynce Joles and Opal Openheart-Driver is portrayed by Chris Newman. Villains in this year’s show are played by Matthew Wells as Monty Bags, Angie Bin as Suzy Roomer, and Theodore Bowman plays Sheriff Carlyle Clink.

The show is directed by Bergmann with Abby Starkey serving as Assistant Director.

Performances are at 8 p.m. on June 5 and at 10:30 a.m., and 12:30, 4:30, and  6:30 p.m. on June 6 at 123 S. National (former St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church). Tickets for the show are $5 at bcct.ludus.com or at the door, but seating is limited. Age 5 and under are free. Doors open 30 minutes prior to show.
