Santa Clarita Valley Entertainment Report: January 28, 2016 – Friday’s opening night for the two-act comedy melodrama “Bullshot Crummond” at the Canyon Theatre Guild on Main Street in Old Town Newhall.

By Stephen K. Peeples

The play’s a send-up of low-budget 1930s detective movies and typifies British heroism at its dumbest. The cast features Barry Agin, Sanya Arnold and Tyler Joy, with Christopher Flowers as Bullshot Crummond.

There’s a free wine and champagne reception Friday at 7 p.m. and curtains rise at 8. Get your tickets at http://www.canyontheatre.org/shows. Bullshot runs at the CTG through February.

If you’d rather kick out the jams Friday night, hot young Santa Clarita alt-rock band The Narwhals play their first gig of 2016, at the Teragram Ballroom on 7^th Street in Downtown Los Angeles.

The two-time SCVTV “House Blend” alums (as The Feaver in Season 1 and The Narwhals in Season 4) are showcasing tunes from the quartet’s first EP and some new stuff they wrote over the holidays.
