Lark, A Cowboy Woman's Ride
A cowboy woman relives her adventures in Arizona ranching over the years of her life. She runs cattle, bear hunting expeditions in Alaska and fights to prevent cultural extinction. The play written by Terry Earp is based on her 2004 documentary film titled "We Killed Our Own Snakes"
Lark tells the story of her life as a cowboy woman raising a son, herding cattle and training horses and mules. She also relates the adventures as she and her husband Joe, cowboyed from Mexico to Alaska and all points in between. Finally, she gives her views on ranch life and how it has changed, and what she and her friends are doing to preserve their part of Western history.
From Terry Earp: Director, Producer, Writer and Editor.
It is my hope that even though I can do nothing to save the cowboy or the ranches, I have at least attempted to capture the legacy of these women whose like we might never see again...
Some one once said that "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming, "What a ride!"
