Description

Welcome to Mess Productions' first show!

The Trail to Oregon! is a fast, funny, and entirely historically accurate musical portraying the Oregon Trail. Originally written and produced by Starkid productions, this musical gives a totally educational insight into the most iconic road trip in America’s history. Follow a dysfunctional, all American family as they trek across the country, just like the classic video game! What could go wrong? 

Originally produced by Starkid Productions.

Suitable for audiences 16 and up.
