BWW Review: WIZARD OF OZ at Gooseberry Park Players
The story of The Wizard of Oz has been told numerous times in many different ways. Originally a book written in 1900 by L. Frank Baum with the first Broadway musical adaption coming in 1902. Of course the most popular version is the 1939 musical film adaption starring Judy Garland as Dorothy. For th...
BWW Review: FREAKY FRIDAY at Trollwood Performing Arts School
Stories about adults and kids swapping bodies have been around for a while. Of course, you have some classic 80's movies like 18 Again! (1988) Starring George Burns, Like Father Like Son (1987) with Kirk Cameron and Dudley Moore and even Vice Versa (1988) with Fred Savage and Judge Reinhold....
BWW Review: BE MORE CHILL at Empire Arts Center
For this review I decided to take a road trip up to Grand Forks and I can tell you all this is was worth it. For those of you not familiar with this show, that just opened on Broadway this year, this is based on a 2004 book of the same name written by Ned Vizzini. This tells the story of Jeremy Heer...
BWW Review: WEATHER THE STORM at Cass Act Players
It's not very often you get to write a review for a locally written, composed and produced musical theatre production. The story of Weather The Storm was written by local writer Tracy Frank and she also wrote lyrics for the songs. Local music composer Topher Williams wrote the music and also wrote l...

BWW Review: THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME at FMCT
This play is based on an award winning novel by Mark Haddon and tells the story of 15 year old Christopher who decides to solve a crime. The play doesn't come out and say it but Christopher seems to be on the autism spectrum....
BWW Review: MOON OVER BUFFALO at West Fargo High School
Moon Over Buffalo is a 1995 play by Ken Ludwig that marked the return to Broadway for Carol Burnett after a 30 year absence. This is a funny, family friendly play that is sure to bring laughter to the whole audience. The story focuses on the Hay family in the 1950's who are stage legends. It's a sma...
BWW Review: MAMMA MIA! at Fargo Davies High School Theatre
The music of Abba always seems keep coming back, and with the adaption of stage musicals and movies based on that music it is more popular than ever. Rebecca Saari and the Fargo Davies Theatre Department decided to bring that music to the stage this year. Director Saari even dedicated the show to he...
BWW Review: NEWSIES at Moorhead High Theatre
There is a reason that many consider Moorhead High Schools Theatre Department as one of the top in the area. They always seem to step it up every single year and this was no exception. Director Rebecca Meyer-Larson said that she was waiting online and secured the rights for Newsies about 30 seconds ...
BWW Review: THE SECRET GARDEN at West Fargo High
Another show I knew almost nothing about going in, but those usually end up to be some of the best ones. In the lobby before the show I did hear one attendee telling someone 'most of the characters are actually dead' so that was my basic knowledge of the show before it started. I won't give a lot aw...
BWW Review: NEWSIES at Fargo North High
If you need any more evidence that Newsies is popular just look around Fargo-Moorhead as 3 different productions of the show are being put on this year. What I love about our local theatre community is that you can watch multiple productions of the same show and each school puts their own special to...

For anyone not familiar, The Laramie Project is a play from 2000 originally created by Moises Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project. This play is about the reaction to the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a gay student from them University of Wyoming in Laramie. Moises and other members...
BWW Review: MARY POPPINS at FMCT
In what might be the biggest production ever brought to the stage by FMCT, Mary Poppins is a wonderfully done show that is fun for the whole family. With almost 60 members in the cast & crew plus another dozen in the pit orchestra this was no small undertaking but director Adam Pankow knocks another...

The annual Gooseberry Park Players summer production had its opening night. This year co-directors Darcy & Lauren Brandenburg decided to tackle Big Fish this year. This show isn't as well-known as...
