Welcome to the Web Site for Wyatt Earp " A Life on The Frontier"
The Tombstone Saga is a series of six historic bio-dramas that started with
the first play written in 1996, Wyatt Earp A Life on The
Frontier. It was originally written for the actor Hugh
O' Brian who starred in the television series "Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp."
Mr. O' Brian had other commitments and the staring role was turned over to
Wyatt Earp. Since then Terry Tafoya Earp has written five more plays, with
the last one being Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt Earp written in 2006 just before her
accident and it's first performance was May 2008 at Schieffelin Hall in Tombstone,
Arizona. A very fitting location for the first performance of this play.
Wyatt and Terry have finished working on the new play. It's first performance is set for April, 7th, 2012 at the Capistrano Center For The Performing Arts. The title is; Will Rogers - A Ropin’ Fool.
