Keeping the Doctor Away

A musical melodrama, for three men and three women. The villain, Willis Winesap, and his partner, Goldie Jonagold, arrive at a small town looking to run a scam. Intercepting a letter from the new town doctor saying he will be delayed. Winesap has an inspiration! He will act as the doctor, Goldie his nurse. He will examine the miner's, proclaim them contagious with the dreaded Gold Lung Disease, or more commonly known as 'E-Golda,' have them quarantined, take their gold and leave town! With the help of his homemade invention, The Lungalator, he does just that. Just when it seems they'll get away with their dastardly scheme...our hero will save the day, get the girl, and set justice right! With six songs, seven scenes, and a very minimal set and props, the play runs about an hour and is the right prescription for an hour of laughter, music, and suspense!
