In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a cheerful roadside diner. All roads are blocked, and four or five weary travelers are going to have to hole up until morning. Cherie, a nightclub chanteuse in a sparkling gown and a seedy fur-trimmed jacket, is the passenger with most to worry about. She’s been pursued, made love to and finally kidnapped by a twenty-one-year-old cowboy with a ranch of his own and the romantic methods of an unusually headstrong bull. The belligerent cowhand is right behind her, ready to sling her over his shoulder and carry her, alive and kicking, all the way to Montana. Even as she’s ducking out from under his clumsy but confident embraces, and screeching at him fiercely to shut him up, she pauses to furrow her forehead and muse, “Somehow deep inside of me I got a funny feeling I’m gonna end up in Montana …” As a counterpoint to the main romance, the proprietor of the cafe and the bus driver at last find time to develop a friendship of their own; a middle-age scholar comes to terms with himself; and a young girl who works in the cafe also gets her first taste of romance.
General auditions are now over but we are still searching for someone to play “Bo“, the male lead. If you are interested in the role or know someone who might be, please get in touch by sending an email to info@placercommunitytheater.org. We’re offering two free tickets to the show to the person who finds us the right actor for the role.
Rehearsals are currently underway

Cannot wait! This is going to be a very good production!
It is! We have a fantastic cast and a fabulous director. Would be the better if you were in it though. 🙂
How long is the show?
Hi Aubrey
The performances run about two and a half hours.
Hope you enjoy the show!
Thank you for such a wonderful performance. We were in attendance for the Mothers Day matinee and enjoyed it immensely. We look forward to future productions and anxiously await an announcement of the next production.
Hi Roger
Thank you so much for your kind words. It’s truly energizing to know that we’ve been able to produce a play that gives people joy. The road after Covid has been very uncertain for us and bringing Murder’s in the Heir to the stage has, at times, seemed almost impossible. Our talented cast and our tireless crew have worked many, many long hours to make this happen. A debt that will be hard to repay. Your words lift us up and give us energy to do it all over again.
Many thanks!
