Hutton’s Hamlet

A hilarious Wild West version of Romeo and Juliet, the Friday and Saturday shows, July 21 and 22, are the next in the summer series at Hutton’s Hamlet, 132 W. G St., Oakdale. Romeo Earp crashes the Oakley’s Harvest Festival, and it’s love at first sight when he spies Juliet Oakley. The only problem is that Earps and Oakleys are sworn enemies. How will Juliet tell her dad that she’s fallen in love with a boy he hates worse than burnt cornbread, and how will she ward off Deputy Martin who already intends to marry up with her? To make matters worse, Romeo accidentally kills Juliet’s cousin, and is banished from Possum Trot.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for 12 and under. Call for times, 209-848-1216.
