Although this one-hour performance is fun for all ages, Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA) is designed specifically to entertain, educate, and inspire children and young people.
Written by Ernie Nolan and based on the book by Adam Rubin and Daniel Salmieri, this production brings the story to life: a boy and his dog are watching a TV show about dragons when they get caught up in the ‘Dos and Don’ts’ of feeding them. Dragons love tacos, but if they accidentally eat spicy salsa—watch out!
A special Family Rate of $40 is available for this production by calling the Box Office.
Performances:
October 16 @ 6:00 pm
October 17 @ 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm
October 18 @ 2:00 pm
Flavio Betrayed is a high-spirited comedy, filled with disguise, deceit, insults, romance, friendship, stinky cheese, and outrageous hats. Told in the traditional Commedia style through an undeniably modern lens, this romantic romp follows the delightfully convoluted story of our hero Flavio, whose best friend is trying to steal the hand of his beloved Isabella, while her father attempts to marry her off to another suitor who is considerably past his prime. Penned by local playwright Scott Ford, this fast-paced comedy has something for everyone – highbrow humor, lowbrow humor, and everything in between. In the author’s own words, “Watching this play will make you feel smarter and dumber at the same time.”
Performance dates:
October 9, 10, 16 & 17 @ 7:00 pm
October 11 & 18 @ 2:00 pm (Possible added performance at 2:00 pm on October 17)
A musical comedy featuring four distinct characters and their relationships as they organize the food and solve the problems of a rural Minnesota church about to undergo changes in 1965. Funny and down-to-earth, audiences will recognize these ladies as they witness the church year unfold from below the house of God.
