The Tooth of Crime

The Tooth of Crime written by Sam Shepard in 1972 is a wild, challenging and outrageous post-apocalyptic rock and roll tragedy about one of the top players in "The Game" Hoss. Dominating the southwest with goals of rising further to the top of the charts, he finds himself stuck in his mansion, trapped by his image, continuously taking drugs to stave of the fear of the "Gypsy Killers" after his power. Crow, a cunning, young, innovative young rocker challenges Hoss for his dominion in a rock/rap battle that can't be missed. Accompanying the cast on stage is a live rock and roll band!

Director Mike A'Dair brings this 1972 cult hit to life at the Willits Community Theatre July 12th through July 21st. Friday and Saturday 7:30 PM, Sunday Matinee's at 2:00 PM. All tickets $20. For questions please call the theatre at (707) 216-1826
