Rebecca Meyer-Larson and her talented students from Moorhead High bring the story of the infamous outlaws Bonnie and Clyde to the stage. This is the first time this musical has been performed in the area. A friendly warning that it may not be suitable for young children, as the show includes violence, mature language and simulated gun shots.

Directors Tom and Rachel Gillen help bring this modern twist on the Grimm Fairy Tales to life on the stage at Fargo North High School. This Tony Award winning musical made it Broadway debut in 1987. Into The Woods has seen numerous revivals as well as a 2014 Hollywood movie starring Meryl Streep, Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine, James Corden and more.

The musical of Sweeney Todd first hit Broadway in 1979. This haunting musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim is a modern classic. The horrid story of a vengeful barber who assists her partner in getting some special ingredients for her famous meat pies.

Bryce Henrickson and his team are back this summer with another production. This year they decided to let their Freak Flags Fly and bring the cast and crew to Duloc.

West Fargo Events and Stage West Presents Rock Of Ages!

Trollwood is back! The moment so many kids and their friends and families have been waiting for. After no show in 2020, everyone came together in 2021 to bring back an important part of summer for so many.

For anyone looking for a purely fun show with great music this is it. This show will have you tapping your feet, clapping your hands and singing along. All Shook Up is a 2004 jukebox musical set to the music of Elvis Presley. The story in this production is similar to Footloose. We have a small town with rules against loud music, public 'neckin' etc.. We have an outsider who comes to town and try to change everything, and of course we have the hilarious multi-person love triangle, although it's definitely more than a triangle.

A tale as old as time... The favorite Disney classic makes it way to the stage at Horizon Middle School in Moorhead courtesy of GPP. This show originally planned for summer 2020, but we all know what happened in 2020.

They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky. OK, that isn't actually part of the stage musical but I did catch myself singing it when the the finger snapping started.

The music and the story are so entertaining. It is great to see young kids enjoying this music, and by the looks on their faces they were all having a blast.

A musical based on the classic 1869 two volume novel semi-autobiographical written by Louisa May Alcott. The story of the four March sisters. This story has been adapted to stage and screen numerous times, including the recent 2019 Hollywood movie release. The Broadway production opened in 2005.

A funny story, when I was a kid I collected movie posters. The local movie theater would often give away posters after a movie ran and I would take what I could get. One of the posters I got was of a movie I had never seen called “A Chorus Line”. That poster hung on my wall for a year or two until it was replaced by another, and I never did see the movie...

The kids from Shanley take us back to the 60's! Leader of The Pack is a jukebox musical originally released in 1984.

As usual Scott Brusven and the kids at Oak Grove did not disappoint. The set design and lighting was very cool and the cast and crew did a great job being safe. They even had a baptism scene featuring hand sanitizer.

The team at Sheyenne chose 8 powerhouse performers to bring this show to life. There is no “lead” in this show and any one of these single performers could be the lead in any other regular musical production. The power and range of these 8 voices is something special.

First of all, YAY!!! Live theatre is back! It was so great to see these performers on stage.

First off, let me say that I am so glad there is actually theatre to review. I also want say how cool this venue is. The Lights in West Fargo (3100 Sheyenne) is an amazing outdoor venue for a show. Do yourself a favor and go check this place out, hopefully to see one of the last few showings of Hairspray.

Everybody cut footloose because Theatre is back in the F-M area after a very long break. When most of the summer programs (and spring for that matter) were forced to close, luckily a couple of local productions decided to push forward, and one of these is Summer Arts Intensive and their production of Footloose.

The kids from Oak Grove take you to church, or maybe even to Heaven in this toe tapping, family friendly musical production.
