'The Death & Life of Sneaky Fitch', by James L. Rosenberg

  • Historic Anthony Theatre 240 W Main Street Anthony, KS 67003 USA (map)

The Arts Center is proud to present ‘The Death & Life of Sneaky Fitch’, by James L. Rosenberg.  ‘Sneaky Fitch’ is a Western tale, sure to delight audiences of all ages with singing cowboys, saloon girls, and shootouts! 

To the ambitious little town of Gopher Gulch, Sneaky Fitch is an abrasive disgrace—a no-good, drunken, brawling nuisance. When he falls ill, there is a sigh of relief, and when he apparently dies there are few tears. But when Sneaky rises from his coffin, the picture changes, for no one dares confront a man who has come back from the dead. Capitalizing on his “invincibility” Sneaky soon takes over as sheriff, mayor, and town banker—not to mention facing down Rackham, the fastest gun in the West. In short, where he was formerly unbearable he is now insufferable. But is Sneaky really immortal?  Can he really outrun death?  And will things in Gopher Gulch ever be the same?

The cast of ‘Sneaky Fitch’ includes:  Amanda Hilgemann, Wren Robinson, and Coleman Teel as the Singers, Bryan Hilgemann as Rackham, Aaron White as Mervyn Vale, Reanna Theisen as Mrs. Vale, Emma Lea Trahan as Maroon, Miguel Gerber as Sheriff Jack Oglesby, Tracey Penwell as Doc Burch, Gary Jacobs as Rev. Stanley Blackwood, Robin Ybarra as Mrs. Blackwood, Ted McDermott as Sneaky Fitch, Brian Waldschmidt as Joe Carter/Bill Jackson/Bob Wilson, and Kimberly Futhey, Debbie Hunt, and Amy Oliver as Townspeople. The creative team includes Director Juliana Whisman, Assistant Director Alison White, and Stage Managers Ami DeLacerda and Andi Penwell.
