The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

By Jethro Compton

Based on the short story by Dorothy M. Johnson

October 7 - November 1, 2026

Journey into the Wild West, 1890, in this classic story of good versus evil. When a young scholar from New York City travels west in search of a new life, he arrives beaten and half-dead on the dusty streets of Twotrees. Rescued from the plains, the town soon becomes his home. A local girl gives him purpose in a broken land, but is it enough to save him from the vicious outlaw who wants him dead? He must make the choice: to turn and run or to make stand for what he believes, to live or fight; to become The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
