Lone Star:
When Roy Caulder comes home from Vietnam, he just can't get it together. Two years after returning home he is still lost and can't fill the hole in his life. He frequents Angel's Bar with his brother Ray where they get drunk and Roy tells the same stories over and over again about his beloved car, the women he's loved, and the fights he used to get into. Nothing is more important to Roy than his 1959 Pink Thunderbird Convertible, not even his wife Elizabeth. But when Cletis T. Fullernoy walks in with bad news, life as Roy knows it is about to turn upside down. This show mixes comedy with a deep hurt only a man who's seen war can know.

The Backyard Theater Ensemble was started to give young adults from Cheshire and surrounding areas an opportunity to pursue their love of the performing arts. In the day and age of cutting arts programs, this group is dedicated to keeping young adults active in the performing arts giving them an opportunity to pursue their love of drama, comedy, directing, musical theater, and set & lighting design. The ensemble is solely volunteer based. The Ensemble gets their name from their practice space: the ensemble members' backyards.
