Buddy! The Buddy Holly Story
By Alan Janes | Directed by Ron Peluso
Musical direction by Gary Rue | Choreography by Jan Puffer
Oct 1-30, 2022
1959. Part bio-musical, part rock ‘n roll concert, and part toe-tappin’ & hand-clappin’ celebration of the music of Buddy Holly. This young talent from Lubbock, Texas had a meteoric rise to fame as he crossed racial barriers and rose to the top of the charts with his music in just four short years. His appearance in Minnesota was part of the legendary Winter Dance Party tour that brought him to Duluth and St. Paul just before his final performance at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. You’ll be dancin’ in the aisles with songs like Oh, Boy!, Heartbeat, Every Day, Rave On!, as well as The Bopper’s Chantilly Lace and Ritchie Valens’ La Bamba and more!

1899. A story of love, acceptance, and understanding. It’s December on Summit Avenue in St. Paul when Monica, a young immigrant, is hired by the Warner family to serve as a ‘Second Girl.” Mr. Warner, a very strict Christian, has recently lost his wife and mother of his two children and this holiday season is particularly difficult for everyone in the household. Monica, who is Jewish, fears that if she revealed her Jewish heritage, “her secret, and true self,” she might be dismissed from this job that she desperately needs. A stocking stuffer filled with humor, song & dance, and a joy-filled musical! A perfect tonic for our times!

1986. The story of the indomitable Dorothy Molter, the last legal non-indigenous resident of the Boundary Waters. The story reflects the beauty and hardships of Molter’s solitary yet satisfying life beginning in 1934. The play, funny and passionate, explores her independence, fortitude, and love of nature. and pushes back against the premise that her time in the North Woods made her the “Loneliest Woman in America,” as the Saturday Evening Post claimed in 1952. Dorothy Molter’s story will delight all, young and old.Jan 28-Feb 19, 2023

This play, inspired by Melvin Carter, Jr.’s book, DIESEL HEART, is a story that has you crying and laughing with joy.
