El Bandito at Pickleville

We enjoyed the Pickelville Playhouse original production of "The Hanging of El Bandito" so much when were were in Bear Lake last month that we decided that we needed to see it again - and we needed to bring the rest of the family.  Since Cyn is pretty much family, we invited her too.

The hour and a half drive over to Bear Lake just to see the play was totally worth it!  It was just as good this time, and the girls LOVED it!  Even Kalel got into it and for days has gone around the house singing, "El Bandito - oh, oh, oh" while doing the dance.  It is so cute!

Once of our favorite songs from the play was a song about the many benefits of having a mustache - so we decided that we all needed to have one.  We applied our mustaches and then went out to speak with the cast after the show.  We are with "El Bandito" (aka T.J. Davis) in this first picture.  T.J. Davis is an incredibly talented man.  He not only stars in the show (performing several different styles of songs and dances - all while using a Spanish accent) but he is the composer and playwright of the production!  He also serves as the business manager of the Pickleville Playhouse.

Here we are posing with the Sherriff and Sam, the "good guys" of the show.

We were so impressed with the production that we not only bought the soundtrack from this show but also bought soundtracks from the two previous "Bandito" shows.  We learned that they will be performing a Christmas show - and then performing this same show in Logan in the spring.  I can't wait to attend.  I think our family has officially become "El Bandito" groupies!
