When the dangerously handsome Johnny Blood’s life is on the line, he must put his fate into the hands of a colorful cast of characters including a mysterious sheriff, an eccentric priest, a narcissistic governor, a saloon girl gone good and a nun out of the habit. Together, they face uncharted territory as laws are broken and hearts are won. Before the sun sets, will they be able to rise up and pull off the greatest act yet, or will Johnny be left hanging? The new musical comedy Desperate Measures is a hilarious new Western adaptation of Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure set in Arizona 1892. This production contains some adult content. Southwest Missouri premiere.
