A dramatic retelling of the life of Wyatt Earp was held at the Flushing Area Senior Center on Jan. 19. Wyatt Earp, the great grandnephew of the historical lawman Wyatt Earp, depicted his famous relative in the one-man play “Wyatt Earp: A Life on The Frontier.” Audience members learned about Earp’s participation in the infamous 1881 shootout at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, AZ., as well as lesser known but nonetheless intriguing details about the life of the legendary lawman. Earp has done more than 1,000 performances of the historically based play throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. His performance in Flushing was sponsored by the Flint Institute of Music.
