BEREA, Ky. — If you planned to catch Blazing Guns at Roaring Gulch and the recent ice storm wiped out your night out, The Spotlight Playhouse is bringing it back. The theater has rescheduled the performances that were lost to the weather, and the production is now set to run on Feb. 22, Feb. 27, Feb. 28, and March 1.
This production by the Bluegrass Players (directed by Katherine “Kat” Davis) is classic, old-school melodrama, built specifically for audience energy. The good guys are heroically good, the bad guys are easy to boo, and the show moves like a live-action cartoon of a western.
🎭 Why It Is Worth the Reschedule
That interactive style is exactly what the earlier January preview leaned into, and it is still the best way to describe what you are buying a ticket for. It is broad, fast, and meant to be loud in the best way, with cheering and booing encouraged as part of the experience rather than something you have to whisper about afterward.
For families and friend groups looking for a late-winter outing that doesn’t require a lot of planning (or silence), this is an easy “yes.”
