The Moon Theatre Company – a new Northern Colorado entertainment venture – will launch its inaugural season with a premier staged reading of the new play “Cow Dung Dust” by local playwright Rick Padden, Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. at the Berthoud Foursquare Church, 500 4^th Street in Berthoud. A second performance will be Feb. 6 at 7 p.m.

The Moon Theatre Company was formed by a group of actors, writers and directors who are passionate about live entertainment, and who wish to create performance opportunities for like-minded individuals in the area and entertainment opportunities for the general public. The company will offer dramatic readings, full stage productions and experimental theatre in a variety of locations – tapping Northern Colorado’s vast reserve of talent.

“Cow Dung Dust,” which brings together an unlikely (but oddly connected) group of hitchhikers in the back of a cattle truck for the ride of their lives along Route 66, will be followed by a production of A.R. Gurney’s “Love Letters” March 5, 6, 12 & 13, also at the Berthoud Foursquare church. Both productions are in sync with the economy, welcoming patrons for only $5 per performance.

The Moon Theatre Company is putting on a performance of “Cow Dung Dust”. This play was written by local playwright Rick Padden, the writer who gave us the Play “Beets” which we performed at the Rialto last spring. “Cow Dung Dust” is about a group of hitchhikers in the back of a cattle trailer enroute to California along Route 66 in 1970.

Oh yes, “Cow Dung Dust” plays Feb 5 & 6 at the Four Square Church in downtown Berthoud. Tickets are $5. We will be performing the play in the readers theatre format, much like a radio mystery theatre, but without the fuss of radio waves flying everywhere. This will be the first public performance of this play.
