Review by Bonnie J. Gordon

Los Alamos Little Theatre’s production of Cowboy Poet, a C&W Musical, an original country-western musical written, composed, and directed by Deborah Magid, opened May 4 to an enthusiastic audience.

Toe tapping music, comedy and a dash of pathos combine to make Cowboy Poet a great evening at the theatre.

Cowboy Poet is set in Pojoaque and Santa Fe, and is all about New Mexico.

Wyatt Rugosa (Bruce Lamartine) is the Cowboy Poet Laureate Read More
