SALOON GIRLS
With an ensemble cast of six women, SALOON GIRLS is a dark comedy set in a 19th-century saloon and brothel in Cripple Creek Colorado, one of the most influential mining towns of the Great American West. The story unfolds in one room—the dressing room—where the women doll themselves up, debrief their evenings, and scheme to navigate a male-dominated lawless land. The narrative delves into relationships between the painted ladies and their Madam, whose status quo is thrown to bits by the arrival of a long-lost sister in search of her sibling. Journey with us to the wild west to learn the bawdy and boisterous stories of 6 soiled doves, woven in a colorful historical tapestry of traditional Americana song and dance.
“This vibrant production tackles female agency and sex positivity with equal doses of comedy and showmanship.”
“Saloon Girls does not shrink away from the bawdy and harsh realities of sex work on the frontier.”
“Not a single actor lagged behind in their delivery of believable characters with distinct motivations and personalities.”
“The entire cast attacks their roles with infectious vigor, creating theatre that feels both period-authentic and urgently contemporary.”
“Saloon Girls submerges its audience in the raunchy wild west in a calamitous tale of sisterhood.”
“Saloon Girls tells the important stories of women who have been silenced, shunned and shamed for doing what was demanded of them to survive.”
