High Plains Fandango takes place in a small, withered cattle town in western Nebraska. The citizens face a Faustian bargain for survival.
Commissioned in 2010 by the Theatre Arts Department at The State University of New York at Fredonia, High Plains Fandango was developed (with a public reading) by the Echo Theater Company of Los Angeles under the direction of Ethan Phillips. High Plains Fandango, directed by Tom Loughlin, premiered at SUNY-Fredonia on February 24, 2012.
