📖 SHOW SYNOPSIS:
A comedic melodrama/face. Time/place. Late 1800’s the lobby of the Hartburn Hotel-a Residence for Young Ladies-formerly the Last Chance Inn, Calamity Gulch. USA

Faced with losing the Last Chance Inn Ma and Pa Culpepper turn to glamorous Sahara Hartburn. Sahara pays off their loan with money from a “well heeled admirer” and promptly takes over the inn. Transformed into the Hartburn Hotel the place becomes a residence for young ladies with a “no men allowed upstairs” policy. Sahara schemes to find a scandal that will give her new venue some publicity and finds it when the new schoolteacher, Polly Sincere is paid a visit by her dapper and devoted boyfriend Jasper Jones—in her room! To escape Jasper dresses as a girl and poses as Jasmine Sincere, Polly’s sister. Complications arise when a visiting sheriff falls for “Jasmine” and her sudden disappearance leads to Sahara accusing Polly of murder! An attempt to clear Polly’s name, an outrageous chase scene, and the search for a bank robber all conspire to bring the play to a surprising conclusion.
