THE BALLAD OF BUZZARD BASIN - Copperstate Productions at Fountain Hills Theater - May 14-June 6, 2021


by Peter J. Hill

Copperstate Productions is proud to announce the opening of a brand new, old west musical – The Ballad of Buzzard Basin.

The Ballad of Buzzard Basin is a brand-new, old-time cowboy musical that celebrates the essence, and yes, dag-nab-it, the quintessence of the old, old, old west, when men were men and so were the women. But when the town drunk Skragg Mudd refuses to abide by the ‘Code of the West’ something must be done! Filled with classic western songs and populated by steely-eyed gunslingers, pious padres, rock-jawed lawmen & saloon gals with hearts of gold, this World Premier musical proves how the west was fun!

The Ballad of Buzzard Basin is produced by Copperstate Productions, written and directed by Peter J. Hill, musically directed by Tom Mangum and choreographed by Noel Irick.
