The Cowboy Ain't Dead Yet!
Starring RJ VANDYGRIFF as "JOE TEXAS"LIVE! and on YOUR STAGE
A LIVE Stage Show Like No Other!
For over thirty years “The Cowboy Ain’t Dead Yet!” has rode across the stages of this country bringing the true inspiring story of the American cowboy to audiences of all ages from all walks of life.
The American cowboy is an ICON. His story is one of individualism, freedom, independence and inspiration. His story is the hurt he feels leaving his family behind, watching his Mother wipe away tears as she bid her son farewell. His story is a sweetheart’s love and loss. His story is one of pushing herds to the northern cow towns, bringing hope to his beloved Texas and beef to those who hungered for it. His story is knowing around the next bend or over the next hill he could meet death head on. A horse fall, a rattlesnake lying in wait, a rustler’s bullet, a warrior’s swift arrow, a lightning bolt, stampede or the turbulent murky waters of a river crossing could bring his adventure to a dreadful end, leaving only a solemn grave upon the prairie. His story is one of friendships made, rank horses, chuckwagon cooks and laughter shared. His story is long days in the saddle facing nature’s wrath, drought, pouring rain or freezing northers. His story is of changing times yet refusing to betray the code he lives by or the life he has come to love. His story is sleeping in a bedroll, a line shack or sod house for thirty dollars a month, dreaming of one day owning his own ranch. His story is one of hard work, long hours, short pay, saving every penny to make his dream come true. His story is one of determination, grit and courage.
His story is the American story…………
What "Lonesome Dove" is to film, "The Cowboy Ain't Dead Yet!" is to live theater!
