The Ballad of Flint Westward and the Five Who Made Their Way

Arcata Playhouse presents its 16th annual holiday show production, The Ballad of Flint Westward and the Five Who Made Their Way, December 9-18. A holiday event for the whole family, this original musical production written and directed by James Peck is set in the Wild West of an old Humboldt town. Flint Westward works in a Launderette in a company town, and he is in love with the daughter of the tyrant town manager. In order to win her love he must go on an adventure with his friends, a buffalo, a strong man, a hypnotist, and a gastronomist, to find the fabled Jack-a-lope...but can he get back in time? This show is a play-houseful of fun to celebrate the holidays, with song, dance, magical animals, guest artists, and the beautiful sounds of the Blue Lake community choir. Complete with plenty of audience participation, and a dynamic cast of all ages, this is one family show you won’t want to miss. The Ballad Of Flint Westward runs for two weekends in December, with Friday and Saturday evening showtimes at 7:30 PM and Matinee showtimes on Sunday at 2 PM. The Arcata Playhouse is located at 1251 9th Street in Arcata. Tickets are $12 general, $10 members, and $8 for youth 15 and under. Available at Wildberries Marketplace or reserve at (707) 822-1575.
