A New Western Comedy
Lasso Cave is the first play in the Beltridge Trilogy.
Lasso Cave begun its life in April of 2024. The original script was never finished before the story underwent massive changes. The final line of the original script, which was a stage direction, read: He begins. And "begin" I did. A year later, I finished the first draft of the story as we know it today. Lasso Cave is currently being produced by the Ohio University Fringe Festival.

A Supernatural Western Thriller
INK is the second play in the Beltridge Trilogy.
INK is currently being written.
INK dives into the supernatural nature of the town of Beltridge, and establishes the bizarre history that lies between HUNG! and Lasso Cave. Some familiar faces appear, and some faces grow unfamilar as the play goes on. While it is the second play in the trilogy, it is intended to be the finale. The correct watch order would be the order that the plays were released in. HUNG!, then Lasso Cave, then INK.
