"It's me again, Hank the Cowdog, Head of Ranch Security."
And so begins another wild adventure with Hank and Drover! This time Pete, the cunning
little cat, has convinced Hank that his corncob will make him rich. With no need for ranch
work, the newly "wealthy" Hank and Drover set off for excitement in canyon country where
they visit Madame Moonshine, the owl and fall in love with Missy Coyote.
But when trouble arises at the coyote village, Hank and Drover decide there is no better
place than home on the ranch.
Returning to Main Street Theater again after over a decade,
audiences will have a rip-roaring time with Hank and all his "friends"!
Recommended for Pre-Kindergarten - 5th Grade.

High Praise for MST's Touring Productions

“The performance was wonderful! The students loved it. It was for nearly all of them their introduction to both Shakespeare and live theater. How fortunate they were to have Main Street Theater provide them both experiences. The cast worked their craft to captivate their audience. Students are talking about it still. Just yesterday, a student used a phrase from 'Romeo & Juliet' in an essay. In middle school that's very high praise indeed. Please convey our thanks to the cast for their kindness and professionalism.”
-- Warmly,
Dom Zuccone
Deady Middle School
“Length was perfect … You keep in all the important monologues and soliloquies … Students really loved Mercutio, Romeo, Juliet, and the Nurse - oh and Benvolio - all of them! … Best of all, many students who didn't like the play loved the performance! We have enjoyed having you here for the last two years, and hope to do it again next year!”
