St. Mane Theatre, Lanesboro

Straight from a hit run of this year’s KC Fringe Festival, the Kansas City theatrical band is playing one night in Lanesboro, MN to share their sad, sad story. Created and directed by UMKC professor Stephanie Roberts the ensemble features Daniel Eichenbaum, Peter Lawless, Grant Prewitt, Heidi Van, Roberts, and Lanesboro’s own Carla Noack.

Boom! is the story of reunited orphans from around the world. Misplaced by their traveling scientist parents, these wayward foundlings magically converged in the heartland where they now seek meaning and healing through mysterious marches and geometrical formations. Come see what Robert Trussell of the Kansas City Star calls, “Joyful, foolish and crazed…agreeably ridiculous!
