Hayden Casey is performing as Seth Poole at select performances through November 14th

Welcome, dear guests, to the wake of Derrick Von Spindletop...


Our town’s tolerable business investor and oil tycoon was found dead in his study two days ago. As we gather here today, perhaps there may be more to Spindletop’s “natural” death than meets the eye.

Could his wife,Francine, have cashed in early on his life insurance? Or it may have beenSeth Poole, who has plodded here all the way from the piney woods of East Texas. Perhaps Seth’s pursuit of a partnership proved deadly? And then there’s the two new Wildcatters in town. DidWallysink Spindletop’s ship into the depths of Davy Jones’ locker? Or did one ofHelga’s manic mechanisms bring Derrick to his demise?
Send an urgent telegram to the Marshal, County Sheriff, and Texas Ranger! The wealthiest man in town has been struck down in this hunt for black gold, and we’re going to need all the help we can get!

With rapid-fire humor, bold characters, and moments of surprising heart, this “somewhat true” version proves that heroism doesn’t always look polished… but it can be wildly entertaining.
