Way Out West Tickets + Contest!!

Tickets are finally on sale for the Barn Players’ pun-tastic, family-fun fall melodrama...

Way Out West in a Dress or… Life’s a Hurdle When You’re Wearing a Girdle

Friday, November 18th at 7:00pm
Saturday November 19th at 2:00pm and 7:00pm
Sunday, November 20th at 2:00pm
VA Auditorium


A musical romp, with music and lyrics by Bill Francoeur, “Way Out West” is appropriate for all ages with singing, dancing, and root beer.

“Way Out West” is a joint venture with the Miles Community College Players, directed by Hannah Nash and assisted by MCC Instructor Sue Miles. “Way Out West” helps prepare the MCC Players for directing, producing, and acting in their own show this coming spring. 

Hilarity ensues at the saloon and the salon: men in dresses styling women’s hair, pastor’s wives in trousers (shocking!), sword fights, piano playing, can-cans, calf-roping (sort of), and much more. “Way Out West” is a melodrama, so get ready to Cheer for the heroes and Boo at the villains! You'll "dye" laughing at this wild western musical full of dynamic dialogue, double identities, criminal plots and a music score as wild as the Old West! 

Pre-orders and reserved tickets are encouraged (as musicals traditionally sell out). Please contact the Director to request your tickets at (406) 951-0560 or email barnplays(AT)gmail.com.
