Entertainer Will Roberts to do two special shows in Dodge City. The shows, Feb 23 & 24 are presented by the Dodge City Trail of Fame.
February 1, 2007 (Press Release) --
Will Rogers was one of America’s great humorists as well as being a self-made cowboy and an early aviation enthusiast. His live performances on the Vaudeville circuit were legendary as he spun his uproariously funny brand of humor while performing amazing trick roping feats. He became the darling of the American people up until his tragic 1935 death with close friend Wiley Post in an Alaskan plane crash.
Several stage plays and musicals have been written around Will as a character. Only one performer today captures the man’s humor and rope tricks like no other. That is “Will Roberts” with his touring show “A Tribute To Will Rogers”. Roberts brings Rogers back to life on stage including contemporary humor that Rogers himself would certainly have approved of and an amazing display of trick roping. Roberts has toured the world with his one man Will Rogers show including Los Angeles’ Orpheum Theater, New York’s Madison Square Garden and as far afield as Singapore! He is already tuning up with superb humor concerning the upcoming presidential political zaniness on his web site at www.willrogersusa.com.
The Dodge City Trail of Fame is proud to bring Will to Dodge City for his first ever visit on February 23rd and 24th, 2007. Appearing with Will is the fabulous contemporary bluegrass group Kansas Heart out of Wichita, and our very own local wizard of the west, Marshal Allen Bailey. A 7:00 pm evening show is set for the 23rd in the Dodge City Community College Little Theater with a suggested donation of $15. On Saturday evening, the 24th at 6:00 pm there will be a special show with a light buffet, complimentary wine and a cash bar at the Depot Theater. There is a suggested donation of $35 for this show. The Dodge City Trail of Fame is also raffling off a hat signed by James Arness and a beautiful print by local artist and Wyatt Earp sculptress, Mary Spurgeon. Raffle tickets will be available at the events and the drawings will be held at the Depot Theater. Other sponsorship opportunities for the Dodge City Trail of Fame will also be available.
Get your tickets for this terrific event at Legends Printing, Trails West, the Coffee Corral or from any Trail of Fame member. Round your tickets up and rope them now before they get away!
