WALLACE — This one’s for the boys... The cowboys, that is. 

If you like country music, classic twang and a good dose of corny humor, the Sixth Street Theater’s March production, “Yee Haw: Back to the Barn,” is ready to deliver all that and more. 

Written and directed by Terri Robinson, the show serves as a sequel to the theater’s 2022 hit, “The Yee Haw Hootenanny Hoedown,” also penned by Robinson. While the original leaned heavily into themes of farmers and small‑town agriculture, this new production shifts its spotlight. “Back to the Barn” is a comedic love letter to Western culture, celebrating the boots‑and‑barn attitude that has shaped generations of cowboy lore. 

Inspired by the 1960s CBS television series “Hee Haw,” the show unfolds through a series of bite‑sized musical performances, quick skits and rapid‑fire jokes. Each sketch and song features different members of the cast, many of whom bring a personal connection to the material, whether it’s family history, musical taste or simply a lifelong fondness for country living. 

Audience participation isn’t just welcomed, it’s encouraged. Viewers are invited to sing along as the cast works its way through familiar hits by Dolly Parton, John Denver, Hank Williams, Blake Shelton, Darius Rucker and plenty more. The atmosphere is designed to feel warm, relaxed and a bit mischievous, much like the old variety shows that inspired it. 

“Everyone loves westerns because they are simple and charming and we get the humor,” Robinson said previously. “I love gathering talented people and when talented people work together they become inspired to be even better. This show is a lot of fun.” 

And gather talented people she did. 

“Back to the Barn” features several returning performers from Robinson’s earlier cast, including Robinson herself, Lauren Bourgard, Scott Peterson, Carl Rowe and Harley Duce. They’re joined by seasoned theater veterans Ken Bartle, Paul and Carol Roberts, Joy Persoon, Tim Arnold and Susan Hendrixson. Newcomers Maya Culter and 11‑year‑old Asher Bourgard round out the ensemble. 

Though each cast member brings something memorable to the stage, it’s young Asher who emerges as one of the show’s standout delights. He marks a milestone for the theater as its first third‑generation performer. He is the son of Eli and Lauren Bourgard and the grandson of both Robinson and Peterson, a family legacy rooted deeply in the theater’s long history. 

“I knew he was going to steal the show,” Robinson said proudly. 

“Yee Haw: Back to the Barn” opens Friday, March 6, at 7 p.m. The production runs Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through March 22. Tickets can be purchased online at www.sixthstreetmelodrama.com.
