FIREWORKS FESTIVAL 2019
Belle Darling Klondike QueenBY NATALIE FRIJIA
Produced by Molly Thom and Liz Best November 6 - 10, 2019 in the Studio. A rowdy singing-and-dancing cabaret set in the Gold Rush. It's 1898. A young Vaudevillian steps off at the port of Skagway and sets her sights on the Chilkoot Pass, a gruelling hike through Alaskan wilderness to the Dawson River, and then... GOLD.
But the Mounties aren't letting women into the Klondike, not now and not ever, so Kate pinches a pair of slacks and leaps onto a barge barrelling north! By the time they catch her, she's already a legend. But, that's just the beginning.
