TEMPO: ‘The Mediocre Seven’ ride again ... kind of


Published/Last Modified on Thursday, Mar 27, 2008 - 05:21:01 am MST

Some may consider it sacrilegious to create a comic version of a great western movie — but the Tombstone Repertory Company has done it again.

It wasn’t enough that they desecrated the movies “Shane,” “High Noon” and, more recently, “Stage Coach,” now they’re about to do the same to “The Magnificent Seven.”

They’re calling their version “The Mediocre Seven” though because of mass and sudden desertions, the “seven” becomes the “mediocre one.” In this version, the “one” somehow manages to defeat the banditos, thereby rescuing a poor Mexican village, but doing it — surprisingly — without bloodshed.

Written by Bob Hoskin and directed by Kenn Barrett, this dramatization can be experienced at Schieffelin Hall at the corner of Freemont and Fourth streets in Tombstone on Saturday evenings at 7 p.m. on April 19 and 26 and May 3 and 10.

There will be a matinee performance on May 4 at 2 p.m.

Tickets may be purchased at the theater for $5.

Once again “good overpowers evil” and the Tombstone Repertory Company reminds us of this great truth before your eyes on the stage of Tombstone’s historic Schieffelin Hall. For information or reservations, call the producer Ron Zatochill at 249-8944.
