Singer-songwriter Neyla Pekarek found inspiration in the story of Kate Slaughterback, the famous Colorado woman who slayed a rhumba of rattlesnakes in the 1920s, and turned their skins into a flapper dress. She turned that story into a musical, "Rattlesnake Kate," with the Denver Center for Performing Arts Theater Company.
The show runs through March 13.
