FZN Panther Players to present "Calamity Jane"

The FZN Panther Players are set to present the musical Calamity Jane. The musical is the live adaptation of the 1953 Warner Brothers musical movie. Deadwood City's two most famous peace officers, Calamity Jane (Rylee Fryer) and Wild Bill Hickock (Alex Pohlman), get involved in saving the neck of Henry Miller (Danny Behlmann), the local saloon operator. It seems that "Millie" has been promoting a beautiful actress named Frances Fryer, but Frances turns out to be a male, Francis (Noah Mueller). Millie's attempt to cover up is soon unmasked by the angry miners, and only Calamity can cool the crowd with her trusty pistols. To keep the peace, Calamity sets out for Chicago to bring back the miner's real heart-throb, Adelaid Adams (Rosemary Roberts). In Chicago, Clamity mistakes Adelaid's maid, Katie Brown (Divinity Wright), for the actress and hauls her back to Deadwood. Onstage Katie is greeted warmly, but breaks down and confesses that she is not the famous star. Calamity once more has to restore order and persuades the audience to give Katie a chance. They do, and she wins the heart of every male in town, including Calamity's dashing love crush, Lt. Danny Gilmartin (Javier Clayborne). Calamity and Katie clash over Calamity's jealousy, but when Calmity discovers her true secret love, all is forgiven.

Calamity Jane runs from April 11 - 12. Each of the show begin at 7:00 pm in the Fort Zumwalt North Auditorium. The musical is open the the public. Tickets are $9.00 at the door.
