Prayers have been answered! Tickets for Nunsense II are now available!

That’s right! The FungusAmongus Players are coming back to the stage with “Nunsense II: The Second Coming.”  We urge you to visit www.fungusamongusplayers.org/currentshow, and purchase tickets soon - our first Nunsense show was a complete sell out, and you don't want to miss this one. You can also order tickets by phone - just call the Dassel History Center at 320-275-3077, and the friendly staff will assist you. Performance dates are: September 30, and October 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

You also might want to put the dates for auditions and other upcoming shows on your calendar now, too.  Here is what is in the works:

“The Butterfingers Angel, Mary & Joseph, Herod the Nut, & the Slaughter of 12 Hit Carols in a Pear Tree” is our holiday show.  Auditions will take place Wednesday, October 12 at the Dassel History Center, beginning  at 6 p.m. There are roles for adults, as well as for five teens, and two children. We welcome everyone to auditions - no experience necessary. Come have fun with FungusAmongus Players! Directed by David Metcalf, this piece portrays the story of the nativity from a fresh and richly creative point of view, using deftly constructed short scenes, traditional Christmas music, and often antic characterizations. Performance dates are: December 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, and 18.

Join us in February 2023 for a "Night of One Acts." Four directors will each present one short play. Each show is completely different from the others, but a common theme runs among them. Can you guess what it might be?

And, for Summer 2023, we plan to present a musical.  Stay tuned for more details.

From the FungusAmongus Board of Directors, June 20th 2022

Hello to FungusAmongus Players supporters, fans, actors, crews, and other interested parties:

We have a bit of sad news to get out of the way, but stick with us - there's good news, too.

First: Auditions for a summer Shakespearean play pulled in some top-notch performers. Unfortunately, when we reviewed how many parts remained open after auditions, scheduling conflicts among the actors, and the threat of having to cancel shows due to COVID-19 exposure as we did last summer, it became obvious a summer show just wasn't viable this summer.  We will try again next summer.

The good news:

1. Shows are being put on the calendar as we send this. We know “Nunsense 2 - the Second Coming” will be our fall production with our same cast returning from the first "Nunsense".

2. We also have chosen our holiday show. Ready? It's “The Butterfingers Angel, Mary and Joseph, Herod the Nut, and the Slaughter of Twelve Hit Carols in a Pear Tree.” We will need several teens, adults, and even one or two roles for children. Watch for audition info on Facebook and our website!

3. If you are looking for theatre opportunity this summer former student of Dave Metcalf and current head of the University of Minnesota Theatre department, Luverne Seifert is looking for performers to do Pop-Up performances at the McLeod County fair in August. Auditions are coming up this week June 22nd and June 23rd. For more information click HERE.

4. Another evening of one-act shows is coming in early 2023. We have at least three directors ready to tackle the job.

5. We are in the process of revising our website to be more user-friendly. As always you can find the latest FA news on our Facebook page. Plus, you'll see us more often on Instagram.

6. We covet your ideas. Tell us about shows you would like to see or if you would like to be involved in crews or learning tech for our shows!
   

Thank you for reading. Stay tuned for more details about our upcoming shows. We miss you, and can't wait to see you at our performances.

Sincerely,
                 The FungusAmongus Board of Directors

A little love from a friend from Stillwater

Think of this post as a bit like a digital newspaper clipping you'd hang on your fridge at home! We like to keep things real and quaint-like. 

Many thanks to FungusAmongus' friend, Jon Skaalen, from Stillwater's community theatre, Ole Olson Onstage. We're blessed to have such a great community like Dassel-Cokato to support us in our efforts, and the lovely friends in the community theatre world, like John and so many others!
