The curtain rises on Christmas classic with a Western twist this week in the Foothills.
The Erratic Players, Foothills County's newest theatre troupe, will be performing A Sundance Carol at the Twin Cities Hotel & Saloon in Longview starting Nov. 28.
A Sundance Carol is a Christmas show based loosely off Charles Dickens' classic story A Christmas Carol, but rather than Ebenezer Scrooge and three Christmas spirits, the play follows Harry Longabaugh, an infamous outlaw better known as the Sundance Kid.
"He lived here in Alberta for a period of time before he got really, really infamous as the outlaw that he becomes," said director Katie Fournell.
In the play, Longabaugh, played by Okotoks community staple Logan Coutts, is visited by three ghosts that guide him through history to make sure it happens the way that it should.
Opening night for A Sundance Carol on Nov. 28 is sold out, but the show will be staged four or five nights a week until Jan. 4.
Tickets are $85 and include a three-course dinner. They’re available on Showpass.
The Erratic Players, who are a semi-professional troupe, debuted last year by staging Murder at Twin Cities, which sold out many performances.
