This is Romeo and Juliet as you’ve never seen it before. The year is 1886 in cowboy country and "It’s quiet in them thar hills”. So, the Tumbleweed Falls Drama Posse is rounding up for the annual spring play. This year they are setting their sights and aiming higher than ever before. They’re loading drama guns with a double-buck shot of Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare’s coming to town and the Wild, Wild West will never be the same again. Yee-Haw!
