The Defeat of Jesse James
April 29, 2023
Overview
Every year, the town of Northfield reenacts the events that took place on September 7, 1876, when The James Gang attempted to rob the First National Bank. The townspeople said NO! It’s a story of heroic sacrifice and small-town grit, performed by volunteers on horseback firing blanks. But this year, volunteer Finn Dahlberg finds himself in a reenactment with a twist: It is September 7, 1876! The robbers are real and so are the bullets, as Finn is transformed into Joseph Heywood, the bank cashier who gave up his life rather than open the safe! With only 90 minutes to go before the James Gang rides into town, the heat is on! From the team behind the hit musical, GLENSHEEN, THE DEFEAT OF JESSE JAMES is “Back to the Future” meets “High Noon,” a time-warping, nail-biting, sidesplitting ride.
