The Canon City Police Department, in cooperation with the Historic Rialto Theater, presented
“The Root of All Evil” or “Thistle Be a Day to Remember”

Written and Directed by Kathy Herrin

What kind of seedy dealings are going on at the First Shady Bank? Is Bank President Cash U. Nutt up to no good? Can Marshall Tom A. Teeyoh sort it all out or did the apple of his eye, Coco Nutt, commit murder?

Joe Wolking of Sons & Brothers performed a mini-concert before the show!!!
