So You Want to Be a Cowboy

MUSICAL. When Pecos Bill suddenly appears at a cowboy play rehearsal, he decides to set the kids straight and show them that there’s more to being a cowboy than singing and dancing. The kids soon find themselves transported back in time to the Old West town of Pecos, where the local sheriff has just captured Gabe, the leader of the notorious Hills Gang. When Gabe’s three outlaw sisters arrive in Pecos, it doesn’t take long for them to break Gabe out of jail, take over the town, and appoint themselves to the positions of mayor, sheriff, banker, and even dogcatcher! It’s up to the kids to take back the town, show the cowardly townsfolk that being a cowboy means standing up for what is right, and convince the Hills Gang that there’s nothing wrong with living like ordinary people instead of outlaws. This delightful musical is perfect for young actors and features six original songs.
