Main Street Holiday
a DalekoArts original play with music
written and directed by Ben Thietje
music direction by Anthony J Sofie
The south metro's favorite holiday music group, Main Street Holiday, is booked to play a gig at the newly reopened Prague Theater. Unfortunately for them, a rival holiday music group has the same idea. The mix up results in a holiday music competition the likes of which Minnesota has never seen – the winner gets the gig; the loser goes home a grinch. Come see this nutty Daleko original, packed with holiday fun for the whole family!

Love Letters
by A.R. Gurney
This award-winning play is comprised of letters exchanged over a lifetime between two people who grew up together, went their separate ways, but continued to share confidences. As the letters are read aloud, what is created is an evocative, touching, and frequently funny evening of theatre. Join Daleko Artistic Directors, Ben Thietje and Amanda White, for a truly wonderful Valentine's evening. Proceeds from this evening of entertainment will be put toward further renovation of the Prague Theater.

Barefoot in the Park
by Neil Simon
directed by Amanda White
This romantic comedy from Neil Simon (The Odd Couple, Lost in Yonkers) focuses on newlyweds, Corie and Paul, as they begin married life in a tiny 5th floor walkup apartment in a Manhattan brownstone. Paul is a straight-as-an-arrow attorney, Corie a far more spontaneous free spirit. The young couple must contend with a lack of heat, a leaky skylight, several flights of stairs, crazy neighbor Victor Velasco, and Corie's well-meaning mother. Adjusting to married life has never been this entertaining!
