The Sierra Vista Community Theatre hopes to give “an antidote for 2020” through its production of “Love Rides the Rails.”

Dimetri Wilker, director of the production, said that the show will be a “Western melodrama” featuring an antagonistic trio of Simon Darkway, Dirk Sneath and Carlotta Cortez who try to take control of the Sulphur Springs Valley Pinetop & Pacific Railroad Company.

That is until a heroine comes to stop them in their tracks.

The show opens June 4 at Suite 1200 inside The Mall at Sierra Vista.

Tickets are $10 for youth, $15 for adults and can be purchased at the Sierra Vista Community Theatre’s website or at the door. Attendees who are fully vaccinated are not required to wear masks. Social distancing guidelines will not be observed.

The show will run from 7-9 p.m. every Friday and Saturday with Sunday matinees at 3-5 p.m.

“It was a force of Nature," said Hereford homeowner @Angela A Daugherty. "I could see the smoke. It was red, and the air was so hot from it."

In June of 2011, the Monument Fire burned more than 30,000 acres of land in the Huachuca Mountains, and forced more than 12,000 individuals in the area to evacuate to avoid the flames.
