WYO Play presents The Pony Expresso

The Creative Aging program of WYO PLAY and the Young at Heart Players will present the production of “The Pony Expresso” beginning at 1:30 p.m. Nov. 20, and Nov. 21, at The Hub on Smith.

The play is directed by Pat Tomsovic with assistance from Shari Peddicord. According to WYO PLAY, the action takes place in “The Pony Expresso,” a coffee shop and pony express station in the budding community of Waterpit, Nev., during a period when many people are coming to settle in the West.  

The heroine, Star Bright (played by Kathy Urbatchka) and her aunt Dee Caff (played by Kathy Lundberg) are owners of the coffee shop/pony express station. The villain Mo Cabana (played by Lloyd Marsden) and his assistant Fifi Latte (played by Ginger Morris) have come to town and have set up a coffee cart to compete with the coffee shop, with plans to acquire the coffee shop/pony express station for themselves.  

Suddenly customers are falling ill and Mayor Coffey (Duffy Exon) and Doc Cappuccino (Dan Hills) are concerned it might be foul play. Most Eligible Cowpoke and Temporary Sheriff Buck Brawn (Jack Vernon) will do anything to save the love of his life, Star. 

While appearing on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse, Tomsovic, known for directing plays in the Sheridan region, told listeners she takes a hands off approach to her actors while they are developing the characters they portray.
