About Ten Nights in a Bar-Room
W.W. Pratt’s 1850’s temperance play, Ten Nights in a Bar-Room, exposed the cruel treatment women endured as their men struggled with the evils of the bottle…to the death as their final reward. (Mourners at the funeral of Simon Slade are Chief Full-of-Bull, Larry Gutman; son Bruised Bull, Oscar Salazar; Romaine, James Speake; Anne Slade, Lin Snider; and Joe Morgan, Jon Dykstra.)

Praise the Lord! To offset all the temperance gloom and doom, clever adaptation (by Connie Day and Scott Robinson) took the musical melodrama song & dance format and inserted it between the scenes.

​The musical “olio acts” brightened the play – AND added many more costumes and many more quick changes to the show.
