This summer Prairie Repertory Theatre is celebrating its 38th season. This year we are presenting the shows BINGO: A Winning New Musical, Escanaba in Love, Move Over, Mrs. Markham and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. All PRT shows in Brookings are shown at Doner Auditorium and are free to all SDSU students.
Bingo is described as a zany musical comedy where the audience gets to play the bingo game. The story takes place at Hamerin County’s St. Luke’s church basement where the audience meets Vern, Honey, and Patsy who have braved a hurricane to play their weekly obsession. Bingo mixes song, quirky contestants, romance and rivalry into an interactive, presentational contest. Bingo runs June 11-14 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee June 15 at 2:00 p.m.Escanaba in Love is the prequel to last summer’s smash hit Escanaba in Da Moonlight. Jeff Daniels brings a touching, romantic comedy element to the rugged hunter-humor of Michigan’s favorite yooper family. As deer hunting season arrives, the Soady men meet their biggest challenge; not a great buck or a hunter’s dream, but the camp’s first female visitor, young Albert Soady Jr’s impromptu bride Big Betty Balou. Escanaba runs June 18-21 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee June 22 at 2:00 p.m.
Move Over, Mrs. Markham is a British farce where the audience meets Philip Markham. Philip has reluctantly agreed to let his business partner borrow his apartment for the evening to entertain his latest girl friend. At the same time Philips wife has also let her friend borrow the apartment to entertain her lover. When the Markham’s evening out is cancelled it is too late to let any of the parties know, and three sets of hopeful lovers all converge on the bedroom at the same time. Complications abound, leading to a hectic and hilarious evening. Markham runs June 25-28 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee June 29 at 2:00 p.m.
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is the story of Adam, the eldest of seven brothers, who goes to town to get a wife. He convinces Milly to marry him that same day and return to his backwoods home. Milly sets out to reform the uncouth siblings, who are anxious to get wives of their own. Bursting with rambunctious energy, colorful costumes, and charismatic characters, this breathtaking musical production is guaranteed to put a spring in your step and a tune on your lips. Seven runs July 9-12 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee July 13 at 2:00 p.m.
