Annie Oakley: A Wild West Legend follows the journey of a talented young woman whose extraordinary skill with a rifle draws the attention of Buffalo Bill and the world beyond the American frontier. As Annie joins the Wild West Show, her reputation grows, along with the expectations placed on her both onstage and off. Traveling across the United States and Europe, she faces admiration, rivalry, and the challenges of fame while remaining grounded in where she came from. Her partnership with Frank Butler evolves as her success reshapes their lives together. This lively Readers Theatre piece celebrates determination, showmanship, and the making of an American legend.
