You wouldn’t look twice at Peggy Jo. She’s a good daughter, always tips, plays by the rules. But when she dons a fake beard, sunglasses, and a ten-gallon hat, she becomes “Cowboy Bob”—the slickest bank robber Texas has ever known. And she may just be the life-affirming inspiration one waitress in a Dallas Chili’s badly needs to buck routine and take control of her own life. Equal parts Riot Grrrl rage and Texas twang, this world-premiere musical loosely inspired by actual events invites audiences to join the heist, take life by the reins, and let it ride. (Blurb from AMTP).

In this staged reading, the AMTP cast assisted in script and music development prior to Cowboy Bob’s world premiere at the Alley Theatre in Houston, TX.
