Full of comedy, tragedy and everything in between, "Shoot Faster..." takes a hilarious look at the lives of two brothers at the end of the American Civil War, told through the letters they wrote one another. As Chauncy Binjimmons ends his service for the Confederacy and heads west, his brother Adam navigates the pressures of family life at their childhood home in Virginia. But who are these brothers? It is in the letters, the glorious letters, that the true excitement is found. For it is in these letters that a small boy grows up to lead a savage nation. It is in these letters that the mysterious comings and goings of Adam and Chauncy's father are finally exposed. And it is in these letters where the brothers’ raucous adventure, sleazy love, and nearly accidental triumph are finally revealed!

Written and performed by Joe Anderson and Demian Krentz. Also starring Mary McClenahan Fielding, and with musical accompaniment by Mike Casey.
Directed by Jeff Award-winner Amanda Blake Davis.
