HPT 177

Hasty Pudding Theatricals returns in 2026 with their 177th show, Salooney Tunes! 

Two hot new outlaws have entered the villa: one heartthrob gunslinger by the name of ROBIN YABLIND, and...uh...what was the sidekick's name again? AIDEN N ABETTIN? In any case, hapless AIDEN dreams to see his name in the papers under TERRORIST WATCH'. 

He sees his chance in the town of GOLDINDEMDARE HILLS, but when the robbery of the local saloon goes south, they're forced to lay low. News of the affair alarms unscrupulous mayor GERRI MANDARIN, who is also after the town's money. She enlists pregnant sheriff CARRIE N TWINS to put the bandits behind bars and, unfortunately for the outlaws, CARRIE's resolve is unbreakable, unlike her water.

With the robbers on the run, GERRI devises a con so outlandish that only idiots would fall for it.
Good thing these hills are chock-full. Will skittish saloon owner BART ENDER keep his unlicensed
saloon afloat? Can sultry saloon-singer SARAH PROBLEM sustain a life of cheap thrills and cheaper
jokes? Can twelve-year-old dancer ANNA FIVESIX- FIVESIXSEVENEIGHT muster the courage to
stand up to her mayor-mother GERRI's war crimes before bedtime? Will eager rancher TILDA
COWSCOMEHOME's cows ever come home? Will depressed horse GIDEON UP ever kick his
ketamine addiction? And will colorblind prospector DUSTIN MYEYES finally realize that his shiny
grey rocks are actually worth something?

Seems like this town has more emotional baggage than gold, meaning AIDEN has a long way to go before getting his own WANTED sign.
