Minot State University Theatre presents 'The Year of Razzle Dazzle'

MINOT, N.D. - Minot State University Theatre is pleased to announce "The Year of Razzle Dazzle," with exciting shows and a unique partnership with Western Plains Opera to present "Chicago the Musical."

"The season of Razzle Dazzle is meant to reach a wide variety of audiences. My hope is that the nature of the season will appeal to lovers of classic literature, children's stories, and the magic of musicals," said Sarah Honerman, assistant professor of theatre, Department of Fine and Performing Arts. "The selection allows students to experience a wide variety of styles, including the use of broad swords in 'Macbeth,' puppets in 'James and the Giant Peach,' and a very stylized movement with Fosse's notorious moves from 'Chicago.' In turn, this will allow audiences to experience a multitude of worlds on campus. I hope you'll join us throughout the year!"

MSU Theatre will kick off its 2025-26 lineup with William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" in Aleshire Theater on Oct. 24-26. Shows are at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 24 and Oct. 25 and a 2 p.m. matinee on Oct. 26.

"James and the Giant Peach" by Roald Dahl and adapted by David Wood is set to hit the stage in Aleshire on Feb. 13-15, with the first two nights at 7:30 p.m. and the finale at 2 p.m.
