Trial of Jack McCall - best $6 spent in Deadwood!

Attended the Trial of Jack McCall on Labour Day Monday. Fantastic show. The actors were wonderful and really seem to enjoy what they are doing. The inclusion of the audience as witnesses was hilarious. Best $6 spent in Deadwood.

Will the the afternoon reenactments still occur in the case of rain?

Answer

hi there. the street shows almost always go on if mild rain or shine. only heavy rain would stop a show. its always best just to ask and you can find them at the #10 saloon.
