Summer 2010 - The scoundrels of Fort Whoop Up return to see the wedding
of their very own Marcella Sheran, sister of Nicholas, Lethbridge's first coal miner at the old whiskey trading fort.
Business has slowed down since the NWMP arrived out here and to make ends meet Dave Akers has rented a room to the NWMP for
use as a post and jail. But suddenly during the wedding all hell breaks loose. A prisoner is sprung out of the jail. A prisoner
is taken and the for is overrun with one of the Wild West's most ruthless gangs. Joins us for a two hour dinner theatre
including a period gunfight with cannons and black powder firearms as the men of the fort fight to take back what
is theirs, and to save their own.
Tickets are $30.00 for adults, $20.00 for children (Under 14) and $110.00 for a family of two
adults and up to five children and includes everything from dinner and a drink in the historic saloon as well as the show,
to complimentary ear plugs and bug spray as the whole show does take place outdoors.
This production does include
gratuitous amount of violence, and utilizes everything from large siege artillery (five cannons), to rifles and black powder
pistols, as well as course language, as such it is not reccomended for children under 12.
