The Outlaw, Lawman and Ghost Magic Show

Overview

The Ghost of Milton Yarberry returns to the stage with a hilarious personality that captures the imagination of each audience member, taking them back to a time where characters of the Wild West ruled the land. Based on the life of an actual historical figure, the performance is a "living history" lesson sure to delight any audience. Born in 1849 in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas, Yarberry lived a colorful life and ended up being Albuquerque's first elected Sheriff. Convicted of murder, he was sentenced to death. He met his fate at the end of a rope on February 9, 1883.

The effects chosen are similar to what would have been performed by a vaudeville or medicine show performer of the time. The magic is incorporated into a story, allowing people to become a part of the action. It is filled with audience participation, in a non confrontational, fun atmosphere. The show is "PG" rated for strong language, typical of the time and place.

This is an indoor event. Local craft beer available for purchase (credit card only). No food available on site; please feel free to bring your own food to this performance.
