Return to the Forbidden Planet

In association with St. Norbert College Music Theatre
Picture
"The hybrid thing carries through to the presentation of music. There is a band of four, but practically everybody else gets into the act by picking up an instrument or singing backup for whatever a song calls for."
"Ain’t been nothing like this show put together by any local companies around these parts."

"Return to the Forbidden Planet is camp in the old-fashioned sense of the word – a fun-minded sendup with a heap of theatricality to go along with an aura of colorful playfulness [...]"
Picture
"Key players have been around and bring some extra zip – David Gusloff as the knowingly dashing Captain Tempest, Parker Drew as the tainted Dr. Prospero, Michael Blair as the love-smitten Cookie, Corrie Kovacs as the perky Miranda and Emily Terrell Paulsen as the evil Science Officer who lights up bluesy songs."

SMOKE ON THE MOUNTAIN

"It’s a gently satirical show, filled with lively songs deep in church/Southern roots and flavored by nostalgia and history"

"The acting fits in as a layer in this creation. The actors also are musicians, playing more than one instrument in most cases."

"The characters are played straight, and yet they are comical in their seriousness. The players pull off this rich amalgam..."

"Mary Ehlinger directs, music directs, acts and performs musically in this production. She is quite earnest about it all, and that rubs off on her company as best as it can."
