The Oregon Trail: Quest for the West!THIS SHOW IS IN THE FRIGID HANGOVERS!
|
The Oregon Trail: Quest for the West! is an interactive musical comedy about five brave pioneers as they journey westward to fulfill their manifest destiny. Join Jebediah and his sister Hope as they put together a wagon party and ‘take up stakes’ from Independence, Missouri in search of a better life in Oregon. Their perilous journey has them singing across uncharted territory – comically crossing dangerous rivers, hunting buffalo, outsmarting thieves and battling dysentery. The Oregon Trail: Quest for the West! is a look at the strength and bravery it takes to travel into the unknown. Although the destination for our pioneers is clear, the musical calls into question if we ever really arrive at a final goal. The show actively explores Manifest Destiny and what this goal-oriented philosophy has done to the way Americans approach their daily lives. The audience plays an active role, helping make key decisions in this choose your own adventure style show. A handsome trail guide helps the audience through the Wild West, supplies them with the necessary hunting tools and tallies their score at the end of the musical to see where they rank next to past audiences. This is a musical…it is also a game.
