Tricklock's The Glorious & Bloodthirsty Billy The Kid April 9, 2006

The Glorious & Bloodthirsty Billy the Kid- The Greatest Serial Killer of our Time! A Wild West Show & Cabaret returns to Albuquerque guns a blazin? for two shows, April 8 & 9 at Albuquerque Academy?s Simms Center for the Performing Arts. The Saturday, April 8 performance started at 7 p.m. and the Sunday, April 9th matinee begins at 2 p.m.

Tie up your horses, lock the barn, load the six-shooter and round up the womenfolk, Billy?s on a tear in Tricklock?s patented, surreal account of a society drunk with the lure of ?manifest destiny.? Combining the elements of early frontier theater, melodrama, circus and cabaret, Tricklock Company has created a time-warped Wild West extravaganza like no other. Led by the famed entertainer Wild Bill, this leathery band of cowboys-turned-performers tell the hysterically warped and grotesque story of how the west was won through the heroic and murderous deeds of its most famous outlaw ? Billy the Kid.

Tickets are available at the door before each performance. $15 adults, $10 students and Albuquerque Academy faculty members. Every Academy student who brings a parent/guardian gets in free (limit one complementary student admission per parent/guardian).
