Godspell
conceived and originally directed by John-Michael Tebelak
music & new lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
directed by Amanda White
music direction by Anthony J. Sofie
choreography by Joe Crook
sponsored by Giesenbräu Bier Co.
A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance, and love come vibrantly to life.

From the creative team that brought you the Main Street Holiday series, join us for more silly, holiday fun with another DalekoArts original holiday play.

Peter and the Starcatcher
by Rick Elice
music by Wayne Barker
based on the novel by Dave Barry & Ridley Pearson
directed by Amanda White
music direction by Anthony J Sofie
sponsored by Giesenbräu Bier Co.
A young orphan and his mates are shipped off from Victorian England to a distant island. They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captain's cabin, which contains otherworldly cargo. When the ship is taken over by pirates, the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure.
Featuring a dozen actors portraying more than 100 characters, Peter and the Starcatcher uses the limitless possibilities of imagination to upend the century-old story of how a miserable orphan came to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up.

JAN 18 - 20, 2019
Ball: A Musical Tribute to My Lost Testicle
written & performed by Max Wojtanowicz
original score by Andrew Cooke, Michael Gruber, & Jason Hansen
directed by Nikki Swoboda
music direction by Mindy Eschedor
sponsored by Bruzek Funeral Home
and German Days, Inc.
When Max was diagnosed with stage 3 testicular cancer in January 2016, a friend told him to "conquer it, and then sing about it." He accepted that challenge. Through storytelling and original songs about chemotherapy, community, and courage, Ball is a show about laughing (and singing) in the face of darkness when life throws you a curve...ball.
OCT 26 - 28, 2018
Harold
by Nick Ryan
from Four Humors
sponsored by Bruzek Funeral Home
& the New Prague Fire Department
From the Twin Cities artists who brought us Mortem Capiendum: two brothers drive their herd deep into the mountains to graze. Isolated from the outside world, they build a scarecrow for their amusement; Harold. They show Harold amazing kindness and they show Harold amazing cruelty, until one day, Harold starts repaying the favor.
Based on the best of campfire ghost stories, Harold is a horrific comedy that delves into the deepest fears of our own imaginations and the animal instincts of the human psyche.
MAR 29 - 31, 2019
