The 1st Show of Live Five's 23rd Season
Southern Dandy 75
Written by Andrew Taylor
Produced by Buttered Ghost Theatre
October 15 - 25th, 2026
Southern Dandy 75 is the ‘old timey story of Two Boxcar Hobos, who unwittingly find themselves in possession of the finest and rarest bourbon whiskey - The Southern Dandy 75. With craft, honey tongued rhetoric and the help of an unexpected alliance, the two hobos make off with the entire supply. Naturally, their pleasant Sunday afternoon soon derails as the two fellows find themselves on the run from all manner of dangerous and surly adversaries. Meanwhile, it’s election day, and the fate of the town rests in the decision between ‘mostly good’ and ‘just plain villainous’. Southern Dandy 75 is a comedy of a fanciful nature, fuelled by adventure, poetry, music and booze.
