“Murder at the Italian Wedding,” was written and directed by Paul Warshauer. Two shoows were sold out on February 17 & 18, 2012 at the Grand Kabaret.
The story line centered on hog farmer Otto Schlissithoff, father of the bride and Don D. Dahmdam, mobster from Minneapolis and father of the groom.
The audience enjoyed a gourmet meal and fine cocktails as they listened to the clues and toured parts of the former Grand Hotel. At the end of each performance, the audience was asked to vote for their choice of murderer. There were different murderers and victims for each night so that no one could cheat!

Once Upon A Mattress
New Ulm Actor's Community Theatre will present "Once Upon a Mattress," a wildly comical musical with music by Mary Rodgers and lyrics by Marshall Barer. This musical takes a great new look at the classic fairy tale "The Princess and the Pea!" Keep your eyes peeled for audition dates!
Due to an unhappy curse, King Sextimus is unable to speak. Meanwhile, his terror of a wife, Queen Aggravian, has taken over control of the kingdom. Most importantly, in an attempt to keep Prince Dauntless single, she has decreed that only the princess that can pass her test may marry her son. Further, no one else in the kingdom may marry until Prince Dauntless does. Lady Larken and Sir Harry are extremely disturbed by this fact since Lady Larken is now pregnant with Sir Harry's baby. Luckily, Sir Harry is able to find an amazing princess, Winnifred the Woebegone. She instantly catches the attention of Prince Dauntless, and in the end, is able to pass the Queen's supposedly impassable sensitivity test. When the Queen still tries to prevent the Prince Dauntless from marrying, he tells her to 'shut up' which ends up breaking the curse on the king. Now able to speak, King Sextimus regains his rightful position as leader of the kingdom, and all is well. |
