BWW Review: NOISES OFF at Davies High Theatre
by Brian Michaels - May 08, 2022
For those not familiar with the story, Noises Off is a 1982 play by Michael Frayn. This is a three-act show and each Act hilariously shows us how a play comes together or at least try to get through ONE ACT. Act one shows the final dress rehearsal before the play opens. Act 2 shows a matinee performance about a month later, but in a twist, we see the performance from back stage. Act 3 is a performance near the end of the run. Mix in a few love triangles, fights and wonderful physical and you get a recipe for fun.

BWW Review: PURPLE RHYMES WITH ORANGE at Grand Forks Central High School
by Brian Michaels - April 10, 2022
The original musical written by Patrick Kasper is back on stage again! This shorter version (about 1 hour and 10 minutes) was put on by the Grand Forks Central kids.

BWW Review: THE LIGHTNING THIEF: THE PERCY JACKSON MUSICAL at Shanley High School
by Brian Michaels - April 02, 2022
When the Shanley Players first announced that they were to present The Lightning Thief, I was very intrigued. This musical is adapted from the book The Lightning Thief written by Rick Riordan. I have personally never read the books, but my kids were all huge fans. I did, however, see the movies with my kids when they came out. Knowing this was a new musical for me, I purposely did not listen to any of the songs before hand. As far as I can tell, this is the local premier of this show.

BWW Review: BRIGHT STAR at Sheyenne High School
by Brian Michaels - February 20, 2022
This might be the first time this show has been done locally, but it's definitely the first time I have seen it. This beautiful show was created by Steve Martin & Edie Brickell. The story is based on a true event, not a true story.
