Description

Set in a semi-rural Texas town once booming with cotton gins and now a vaunted barbeque destination, Old Bill’s Railroad Taproom & BBQ slowly decays under a highway ramp, regularly assaulted by passing trains. Inside, the town regulars and occasional customers carry on, living alongside the myths of Americanism, the tale of country star Dottie West, eventually confronting the mysterious paternity of everyone’s son, Little Trouble. Directed by Ellie McBride Starring: Jeannie (and Dottie West): Janelle Buchanan Carleen (and Patsy Cline): Ann Hulsman Hiram Olsen (and Kenny Rogers): David DuBose Old Bill: Garry Peters Little Trouble: Roberto A Soto Rhonda: Maria Latiolais David: Joe Kelly Narrator/lynch pin: Alex Alford Pics from first table read on September 4, 2022, the death anniversary of country star Dottie West, who's tale is folded within TAYLOR, TEXAS.
