Award winning playwright Michael Peach
Sedona AZ (March 22, 2014) – The Sedona Heritage Museum presents Michael Peach in a performance of his new original show “Deceptions, Lies & Alibis” on Saturday, April 5, 2014, at 1:30 in the afternoon. Peach’s show features his unique blend of original cowboy poetry with a tongue-in-cheek look at Arizona and the area’s local history.
“Strange tales have been told by those who rode Arizona’s rugged trails. And sometimes a fact ain’t exactly exact when you scrutinize details,” so says award-winning actor, playwright and historian Peach in the new show, highlighting his original cowboy-style poetry.
Mike spins tales using jokes, stories, first person narrative, and original poems to explore the colorful history of our state, “If whiskey was their quest, men knew that the best came from Bill’s still outside of Sedona.”
But women of the West aren’t ignored in this new show, “Fashion demands the ultimate price, ranchers wrangle a dragon, a con man rides a tornado, a super-powered horse gets distracted, and a frustrated businesswoman gets a leg up on the law.”
Informative and entertaining, Michael Peach’s shows have long been a favorite of university, state and national parks, and historically-oriented audiences.
The show which is suitable for all well-behaved ages lasts about an hour. Tickets are $6, with children under 12 free. Museum admission is separate.
The Sedona Heritage Museum is located at 735 Jordan Road in Jordan Park, uptown Sedona, and is open from 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. daily. The Museum’s exhibits include stories of area pioneers, movies made in Sedona, cowboy life, vintage vehicles and antique orchard and fruit processing equipment demonstrations.
