Boerne Community Theatre Teen Troupe will present a treat for the family for one weekend only. Tim Kelly’s “West of Pecos” will delight young and old. The show runs April 24 to April 27. Hours are: Thursday at 7:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Judge Roy Bean, “The Law West of Pecos,” has decreed that Orin Powers must hang for shooting up a poster of his beloved Lily Langtry, the famed frontier actress. The sentence has the town of Langtry, Texas, in a stew. Bad men want Orin to swing. Good citizens want him to live. Only one thing will save the unfortunate lad from the gallows—the appearance of Lily herself. What happens when the dazzling and glamorous “toast of two continents” meets the grizzled old “Bean” constitutes the fun, romance and drama that make up the legend. The cast of 22 local teens brings the wild, wild west to Boerne. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for youths 18 and under. To reserve seats, call the box office (Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to noon) at (830) 249-9166.
