Trail to Oregon Playbill

Welcome to the Trail to Oregon! In tonight’s show, you will get to help name the wagon party in the first song, and then you can fill out your voting sheet at intermission to help decide who will die at the end of the show! Enjoy the journey to Oregon (yes, I know we’re already in Oregon, but just play along).
