'Even Cowgirls Get the Blues'

Tom Robbins’ '79 counterculture classic follows the wild adventures one woman as she
hitchhikes across America and accumulates a collection of renegade cowgirls along the way

Sissy Hankshaw is born with enormous thumbs that she uses to best advantage she can: she begins a hitchhiking odyssey across the United States. On her adventures to far-flung places, she accumulates a collection of renegade women—cowgirls—who only want their fair share of the myth that is the Wild West. Tom Robbins’ 1979 novel was a favorite of the late-1970s counterculture. This performance contains adult material and is advised for a mature audience.
