ONLINE TICKETING: www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/1198 ESTIMATED RUNNING TIME: 75 minutes. Richard Hendrix is a yuppie, a dentist, a family man with arocky marriage. He’s on his way to a dental conference in San Diego and,refusing to fly, he’s on a long road trip across the desert as he seeks theadventure of the open road. But the engine of his year-old Range Rover makesstrange noises, so he pulls off the main highway and drives into a country townnot located on the map, a place called Rodeo Town. Rodeo Town once thrived as a hub of the rodeo circuit, withthousands attending and a bubbling economy. But people’s tastes changed, rodeosfaded from popularity, and now only a trio of cowboys remain, holding to theremnants of an old way of life. Richard approaches the cowboys (Garth, Lonnieand Kelly) looking for help, but he is soon sucked into their closedmini-society, with its own code of behavior, powered by quantities of Maker’sMark. Richard has pulled in just in time to witness andparticipate in Rodeo Town’s annual ritual: The one day of the year when womenare brought into town so the men can engage in pleasuring with a femalecompanion. This year, there is just one woman, but a startling woman, and afterthis particular alcohol-drenched festivity, neither Richard nor the cowboyswill be the same ever again. 25 Plays Per Hour Directed by Aaron Kozak Written by Theatre Unleashed Produced by Theatre Unleashed SYNOPSIS: The rebirth of the Super Short, 25PPH features 25 BRAND NEWoriginal plays with a handful of the company’s premiere actors playing over 50characters…in less than an hour.

There’s only you.” These are thewords of the late great theatrical life-coach and spiritual dramatist DarwinChini (1941 – 1992), founder of the Los Angeles-based Darwin Chini Theatre forthe Therapeutic Arts.
