"Death is finding out what you are"

A new full length theatrical performance by Thank You So Much For Coming, and the culmination of a three year iterative investigation of cowboys, the American frontier, and the history of life on Earth. The play begins when Turner Jackson, a young cowboy, contracts yellow fever and dies on his way home from his first cattle drive. After death, he is met with a bombastic entertainer who attempts to guide him through the next part of his “journey”: understanding his historical and mythic significance.

 

The Cowboy is a Tombstone is TYSMFC’s final iteration of a years-long endeavor researching and making material about cowboys and the American frontier. Areas of research include the cowboy as a historical and mythological figure, the cultural and political role of the frontier throughout American history, and the geological history of the United States.

 

The Cowboy is a Tombstone was created by Scott Crandall and Maddy Rager, and is performed by Maddy Rager, Scott Crandall, and Jenna Kirk. Richard Newman is the consulting director. Costume design by Maddy Rager. Set Design by Scott Crandall, Jenna Kirk, and Maddy Rager. Sound Design by Scott Crandall and Corey Smith. Poster Design by Monty Etzcorn. Bug Costume by Monty Etzcorn and Maddy Rager.
