Cariboo Buckaroo

Victoria’s top alternative theatre company brings their unique brand of performance to the Sunset Theatre with their newest show, Cariboo Buckaroo.

 

Cariboo Buckaroo plays the Sunset Theatre in Wells June 4th to 6th. The theatre is one of just two stops the company will make this spring on a short tour into the BC Interior.

 

Written and performed by Matthew Payne, the show follows the trail of an 1860's cattle drive, as it makes its way north to the goldfields. En route the vaqueros driving this beef train encounter plenty of hardship, a little magic and surprise, and plenty of beans.

 

A graduate of Quesnel Secondary School, SKAM’s Artistic Producer Matthew Payne is writer and performer. “I took a look at the Cariboo-Chilcotin history I was never taught and found some of the most exciting stories you’ll ever hear.”

 

SKAM developed the piece last summer, making stops at community halls, first nations historical sites, and private guest ranches throughout the Interior. The company’s Managing Producer Allison Bottomley explains: “SKAM very much wanted to make it to the Sunset with this piece, and when we discovered we had the first weekend in June free after a run at Victoria’s Uno Festival this year, we knew we had to make it happen.”
