New Minowa Players announces coming season “Zombie Prom” opens this Thursday New Minowa Players is excited to announce their 20242025 season, which starts in August with the Young People’s Production.

“Zombie Prom” by John Dempsey will be the Young People’s Production and will be directed by Libby Phillips and Jensen Korsness. The Young People’s Production is open to actors in junior high, high school or college age.

This girl-loves-ghoul rock ‘n’ roll off-Broadway musical is set in the atomic 1950s at Enrico Fermi High, where the law is laid down by a zany, tyrannical principal. Pretty senior Toffee has fallen for the class bad boy. Family pressure forces her to end the romance, and he charges off on his motorcycle to the nuclear waste dump. He returns glowing and determined to reclaim Toffee’s heart. He still wants to graduate, but most of all he wants to take Toffee to the prom. The principal orders him to drop dead while a scandal reporter seizes on him as the freak du jour. History comes to his rescue while a tuneful selection of original songs in the style of ‘50s hits keeps the action rocking across the stage.

Zombie Prom will be performed Aug. 8-11 at the New Minowa Players Theatre.

The second show of the season, the Children’s Show, features actors in first through eighth grade. “How the Cam-

el Got Its Hump” is a onehour musical based on one of Kipling’s “Just So Stories.” The musical was written by Rick and Sheryl Scheffert, who will also serve as director and music director. In the beginning, when most animals began to work, the camel was idle and refused.

The dog, the horse, and the ox all told him he should join in the work, but the camel only answered, “Humph!” Auditions for “How the Camel Got Its Hump” will be Aug. 23. The show will be performed Oct. 24-27.

November brings a play “Twelve Angry Men” by Reginald Rose, directed by Alex Rosenow. A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. “He doesn’t stand a chance,” mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-andshut case — until one of the jurors begins opening the others’ eyes to the facts. “This is a remarkable thing about democracy,” says a foreign-born juror, “that we are notified by mail to come down to this place—and decide on the guilt or innocence of a person; of a man or woman we have not known before.”

“Twelve Angry Men” will be performed Nov. 7-10 at the New Minowa Players Theatre.

“Doctor Dolittle” by Leslie Bricuse will be the January family-friendly show, directed

by Sheryl Scheffert. The musical tells the classic tale of a wacky but kind doctor who can talk to animals. The show takes the audience on a journey from the small English village of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh to the far corners of the world. Doctor Dolittle is wrongly accused of murder and, once pronounced innocent, continues with his search for the Great Pink Sea Snail – the oldest and wisest of the creatures on earth. Doctor Dolittle will be performed Jan. 16-19 and 24-25, 2025, at the New Minowa Players Theatre.

The Spring Show will be Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” directed by David Mendez. A group of four Athenians run away to the forest only to have Puck the fairy make both of the boys fall in love with the same girl. The four run through the forest pursuing each other while Puck helps his master play a trick on the fairy queen. In the end, Puck reverses the magic, and the two couples reconcile and marry. “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” will be performed at the New Minowa Players Theatre April 10-13, 2025.

The 2025 Summer Musical will be Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Pirates of Penzance,” directed by Sheryl Scheffert.

Frederic, in his youth, was accidentally indentured to a band of pirates. Now celebrating his 21st birthday, he feels ready to

leave piracy forever and find a suitable wife. He soon learns, however, that he was born on Feb. 29, and since his indenture specifies that he remain a pirate until his “21st birthday,” he must serve for another 63 years. Performances of “The Pirates of Penzance” will be performed June 23-26, 2025, at the Decorah High School Auditorium.

Tickets for all performances are available at newminowaplayers.org/tickets.

World Heritage students come from a variety of countries worldwide: Italy, Denmark, Spain, France, Germany, Ukraine, Japan and Australia, to name just a few. They are between ages 15-18 years, and are enthusiastic and excited to experience American culture, family life, school, sports, etc.

The exchange students have pocket money for personal expenses and full health, accident and liability insurance. World Heritage students are carefully selected based upon academics and personality, and host families choose their student from different backgrounds, countries and personal interests.

World Heritage also offers qualified American students the opportunity to learn another

summer with a host family in another country.

Students are eager to learn about their American host family, so begin the process of welcoming your new son or daughter today.

If interested in hosting an exchange student or becoming an exchange student abroad, contact Debra Garbon, World Heritage Program Director, at 1-800-888-9040 or send an email to info@world-heritage. org to request more information or to start the application process.
