To celebrate New Mexico's Centennial celebration we are proud to present
"Travelin' Show"
Written by Jimmy Galloway

James 'Jimmy' Galloway
James (Santa Fe) Galloway was an internationally renowned composer, pianist and playwright. Here in New Mexico, we have the privilege of calling him one of our own.  His love for New Mexico’s mystery and history are reflected in several of his works. Galloway not only wrote the stage play Travelin’ Show, but he also composed all of the musical scores in this variety show.  The title Travelin’ Show fully describes this strictly entertaining spoof of musicals, comic opera and melodrama.  The show is set around a troupe of players around the year 1900 who take their production to any venue they may encounter during their travels in New Mexico .  The play is full of fun, over the top musical and dance numbers such as the song “Who Let The Cat Out Of The Bag?” The story line itself is a melodramatic “Whodunnit” with mistaken identities and vividly colorful characters including Lydia-The Villainess, Ling Chow-The Chinaman, Horace-The Amorous Buffoon, and many more! 

Upcoming Shows:

Baklavia

The students of Salam Academy will be performing "Baklavia" written by D.M. Larson.
Directed by Kamila Kasparian
Produced by Special Arrangement with www.freedrama.net.

Performances will be on May 4th, 5th, and 6th.
