SUMMARY:Christmas Belles
DESCRIPTION:Did you enjoy “Dearly Beloved?” Don’t miss the hilarious\, holiday sequel “Christmas Belles.” A church Christmas program spins hilariously out of control in this Southern farce about squabbling sisters\, family secrets\, a surly Santa\, a vengeful sheep and a reluctant Elvis impersonator. Written by the comedic team of Jessie Jones\, Nicholas Hope\, and Jamie Wooten. \nDirected by Max G. Merchen\, this hilarious production will be performed by local Black Hills actors in the historic Matthews Opera House. Performances are Nov. 12 – 13 & Nov. 19 – 20 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 14 & 21 at 2:00 p.m. \nNote: SEASON TICKET SEATS are for Friday\, November 12.

A cranky Frankie is weeks overdue with her second set of twins. Twink\, recently jilted and bitter about it\, is in jail for inadvertently burning down half the town. And hot-flash-suffering Honey Raye is desperately trying to keep the Tabernacle of the Lamb’s Christmas Program from spiraling into chaos. But things are not looking too promising: Miss Geneva\, the ousted director of the previous twenty-seven productions\, is ruthless in her attempts to take over the show. The celebrity guest Santa Claus—played by Frankie’s long-suffering husband\, Dub—is passing a kidney stone. One of the shepherds refuses to watch over his flock by night without pulling his little red wagon behind him. And the entire cast is dropping like flies due to food poisoning from the Band Boosters’ Pancake Supper. And when Frankie lets slip a family secret that has been carefully guarded for decades\, all hope for a successful Christmas program seems lost\, even with an Elvis impersonator at the manger. But in true Futrelle fashion\, the feuding sisters find a way to pull together in order to present a Christmas program the citizens of Fayro will never forget. Their hilarious holiday journey through a misadventure-filled Christmas Eve is guaranteed to bring joy to your world! \nCast\nGeneva Musgrave…………..LeeAnn Paananen\nHoney Rae Futrelle………………Brenna Meyer\nGina Jo Futrelle……………….Bailey Sadowsky\nJohn Curtis Bunter……………….Gerry Bennet\nTwink Futrelle…………………………..Amy Ruff\nDub Dubberly………………………….Mike Kane\nFrankie Futrelle Dubberly……Cami Dohman\nRhonda Lynn Lampley…………….Jena Sierks\nJustin Waverly……………………Casey Hibbert\nRaynerd Chisum………………………..Jim Hoff\nPatsy Price……………………………….Pat Rogge

SUMMARY:Love\, Loss & What I Wore
DESCRIPTION:The Page-to-Stage reader’s theater series begins with “Love\, Loss and What I Wore\,” written by Nora and Delilah Ephron and directed by Julie Walkins. This funny\, yet touching and compelling script is an intimate collection of stories about women\, clothes and memories covering all the important subjects—mothers\, prom dresses\, mothers\, buying bras\, mothers\, hating purses\, and why we only wear black. It is a perfect match for Mother’s Day weekend. \nReader’s theater is a unique experience for audiences. In a typical theater experience\, the audience is invited into the scene; but during a reader’s theater production the audience is invited into the story. Stripping a script to its barest bones–the dialogue–really pushes both actors and directors to focus their energy on developing rich characters that keep the plot moving forward without reliance on props and sets. This undertaking emphasizes the power of the words. \nEach show will be followed by a meet and greet with the cast\, providing the audience with a unique opportunity to socialize with the performers and crew. Coffee and cookies will be provided. \n“Page to Stage: A Readers Theater Experience” will run at the Matthews Opera House and Arts Center every weekend in May with performances on Saturday evenings at 7:30 pm and Sunday matinees at 2 pm. Admission is $5 at the door.

In a typical theater experience\, the audience is invited into the scene; but during a reader’s theater production the audience is invited into the story. Stripping a script to its barest bones–the dialogue–really pushes both actors and directors to focus their energy on developing rich characters that keep the plot moving forward without reliance on props and sets.

SUMMARY:Game of Tiaras
DESCRIPTION:The Froelich Young Actors Guild presents a special double feature event: “Game of Tiaras\,” a comedy by Don Zolidis and “Laffin School\,” a comedy by Keith Jackson! Both shows will be performed on Saturday\, June 25 at 7 pm and Sunday\, June 26 at 2 pm. One ticket gains access to both plays. \nAbout the Shows:\n“Game of Tiaras” by Don Zolidis\nActors in grades 7-12 \nWhen the aging king of a Magical Kingdom (England) decides to split his empire between his three daughters\, Cinderella\, Belle\, and the Snow Queen (who in no way resembles a copyrighted character)\, terrible tragedy ensues. Terrible\, hilarious tragedy. Combining the gut-wrenching plot twists of Game of Thrones and the soul-numbing despair of Shakespearean tragedy\, this adaptation of King Lear will leave you dying with laughter as the body count mounts. When you play the Game of Tiaras\, you win or you die. \nProduced by special arrangement with PLAYSCRIPTS of New York\, NY \n“Laffin School” by Keith Jackson\nActors in grades 2-6 \nJokes! Jokes! Jokes! It’s the classic situation. A young substitute teacher\, Miss Quackenbush\, turns up at the Little Red Schoolhouse and finds her class is comprised of the dumbest (and funniest) pupils found anywhere. The previous teacher had a nervous breakdown. No wonder! With things like mice in lunch boxes and a student with the measles\, anything more will drive you crazy! Unless the likable but dim-bulbed pupils can pass a simple exam\, they won’t advance to the next grade. Find out why the pupils don’t want to be “promoted” and why Miss Quackenbush has to find some way to get rid of them! \nProduced by special arrangement with PIONEER DRAMA SERVICE\, INC. of Englewood\, CO \n
