Dianne Moran
as
Calamity Jane
Accompanied by Pat Frank & Terri Brandt
Sunday, November 9th at 2pm
An historic portrayal by Dianne Moran of the real Calamity Jane enhanced with song and musical accompaniment of Pat Frank. You thought you knew her as a Princeton, MO girl ... a tough, cigar-smokin', gun-totin' scout and love paramour of Wild Bill Hickok. Give a listen as Martha Canary, AKA "Calamity Jane" is here to set her record straight! She may not be the well-publicized heroine of the Western Dime Novels, but it's for sure she was there, a witness to the taming of the West... No one else captures the excitement and danger of the times; for Calamity Jane IS the Wild West...
then, now and forever!
