The Vic is pleased to present the regional premiere of The Holdup by Pulitzer Prize-winner, Marsha Norman. ('night, Mother, Getting Out, The Secret Garden & most recently, The Color Purple) In 1914 near a remote shack on the New Mexican high-plains, two young brothers, innocent Archie (Matt Zambrano) and hot-headed rancher, Henry (Jude Moran) accidentally meet up with an aging gunfighter, ‘The Outlaw’ (Dan Mundell) who has just shot his injured horse. They are joined by Lily (Stephanie Jones), a former dance-hall girl and former flame to The Outlaw. Each it turns out has a proposition for the wily survivor of the Hole-in-the-Wall era. What is the Myth of the West collides with the reality of the West in Marsha Norman's picaresque tale. These four souls are all at the end of their individual roads but in one starry night four endings become three beginnings and by dawn's early light the changing of The West is there for the taking.
