Things to do in Houston this Week of March 6 | Image credit: Alley Theatre
Peggy Jo looks like your typical good daughter. She always tips and plays by the rules. However, when she dons her fake beard, a ten-gallon hat, and sunglasses, she becomes “Cowboy Bob,” the slickest bank robber Texas has ever known. And she might just be the inspiration one waitress in a Dallas Chili’s badly needs to be able to take control of her own life.
Loosely based on actual events and co-authored by Galveston’s own Molly Beach Murphy, the musical is equal parts riot, grrl rage, and Texas twang that’ll surely get you on the edge of your seats.
