Snake Oil
In the summer of 2008, xom launched a second dinner theater production, Snake Oil, also known as
Our host Professor Hollingsworth (performed by Charles Leggett) is an 1880’s traveling snake-oil salesman, sharing some of the magic potions and spells he has learned from the witch-doctors of the native American tribes. With each potion (tasting) he serves, he casts spell after spell over the assembled crowd.
A portion of the new show received a work-in-progress world premiere at the Smoke Farm in rural Western Washington. Chefs for the initial production included Seth Caswell (Stumbling Goat) and Tamara Murphy (Brasa).
