Jest Call Me A Cowboy Two Act or The Cowboy Show One Act

Although “Jest Call Me Cowboy” has been written as a sequel to  “Jest at the West”.....

This is a separate story, which just happens to begin where  “Jest a the West” ended.                                                             

Cecil returns to the Silver Slipper to make the movie. The hilarity continues as all the original characters aspire to become movie stars. Read on as we continue the story of How the west was fun.

If you have an obliging piano player it might be fun to have him, or her, on stage as part of the saloon’s staff. If you don’t have strong singers, mimed recorded music may be the way to go. You might like to add more music, to suit your cast,  or leave the music out altogether. The set consists of a bar, perhaps with a foot rail and spittoon, a small table with three chairs and perhaps a free standing set of batwing doors. Saddle up and settle back to enjoy the fun and frivolity, as the characters of Jest ride again..                                               

Leeton Musical & Dramatic Soc. NSW. "Patrons described this play as possibly the funniest play we have done over the past years. Most favourably received!"

Now also available in a one act edition with the title The Cowboy Show.
