Santa Fe Trail Traitors
2026-06-12 19:00 - 2026-08-09 17:00
Written by Susan Ward and directed by Laura Crummer. Featuring talented local performers, rich storytelling, and unforgettable characters, Santa Fe Trail Traitors is a performance you don’t want to miss. It is a time-hopping comedy set in a small town in Northern New Mexico with characters who lived 100 years apart. Santa Fe Trail Traitors will let the audience take a peek at the rivalries and possible traitors – behind the Vaudeville curtain of 1915. Then, with the help of Ragtime music and some good ol’ Rock ‘n Roll, the audience will be transported to the same town… 100 years later. Production is suitable for mature audiences.
