Let’s revisit BFACT’s first production

Jean-Francois Millet, a young painter of genius, is in love with Marie Leroux but in debt to a villainous picture-dealer, Bastien Andre. Andre forecloses on Millet, threatening debtor’s prison unless Marie marries him. Millet realizes that the only way he can pay his debts and keep Marie from marrying Andre is to die, as it is only dead painters who achieve fame and fortune. Millet fakes his death and prospers, all while passing himself off as his own sister, the Widow Tillou. Now a rich “widow,” he must find a way to get out of a dress, return to life, and marry Marie.

Is He Dead? was the first production BFACT ever performed back in 2010 and we are so excited to bring it back for our 15th Season! Just ask anyone who saw this show fifteen years ago, you won’t want to miss out on it!

A ripely enjoyable confection! An elaborate madcap comedy that registers high on the mirth meter and reaches especially giddy comic heights!

RING IN THE HOLIDAYS WITH YOUR FRIENDS AT BFACT

After taking Christmas off in 2023, BFACT was back with our beloved Christmas shows in 2024. The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world–so when they crash Sunday school and demand parts in the Christmas pageant, the whole town panics. There’s not supposed to be biting or cigar-smoking in Bethlehem, and while these kids have never even heard the Christmas story, they definitely have rewrites! Soon, everyone is calling for reluctant director Grace Bradley to cancel the whole thing. It’s up to the Bradleys and the Reverend to help their community see the Christmas story and the Herdman kids through new eyes in this buoyant musical adaptation of the funny and touching holiday classic.

A LIVELY SHOW… FULL OF UPBEAT TUNES, THIS WINNING ADDITION TO THE HOLIDAY CANON MANAGES TO ALSO TOUCH THE HEART… THE TUNES MAKE A SWELL ADDITION.

We have to do this again!

We had so much fun the last two years, we had to do it again! Getting Our Acts Together  consists of four one-acts: one by the Historic Homestake Opera House from Lead; one by the Matthews Opera House in Spearfish; one by the Sturgis Community Theater; one by Belle Fourche Area Community Theater. Each night will be held in a different location, so each theater group gets a chance to perform in a new space and give that community a chance to see a show by other local theater groups. This one of a kind show is such a unique experience and a pleasure to be a part of of year after year.

This year, BFACT performed the original show, Charlie’s Masterpiece by local author Stephanie Bussiere.

So use that! Or bottle it up. Whatever motivates you best. As long as I have a masterpiece by next week, I don’t care how you do it.

Charlie's Masterpiece by Stephanie Bussiere

Belle Fourche Area Community Theater’s Show Charlie’s Masterpiece by Stephanie Bussiere

Charlie always wanted to be the next Picasso or Monet. After quitting her day job to pursue this childhood dream, the pressures of supporting her family members and becoming a successful painter threaten to overwhelm her. Despite doubt and distractions, Charlie must find inspiration from those around her and complete her masterpiece before time runs out.

Dad-Joke Intervention by Wade Bradford

Historic Homestake Opera House’s Show Dad-Joke Intervention by Wade Bradford

The play opens with a typical living room scene: a good, old-fashioned dad sitting in a comfy chair reading a good, old-fashioned newspaper. However, things quickly take a turn for the absurd when Mrs. Wright, a professional and serious-looking person, enters the room and is subjected to a barrage of cheesy jokes and puns from the dad. As the rest of the family enters, it becomes clear that they’ve called Mrs. Wright in for a “Dad-Joke Intervention.” But will she be able to help? Or is this family doomed to be forever subjected to the dad’s endless supply of terrible jokes?

Staged Murder by Julie Walkins

The Matthews Opera House & Arts Center’s Show Staged Murder by Julie Walkins

Shots are heard and a body is found when the officers arrived at the theater to investigate the tragic event – or is it a comedy of errors as they find themselves upstaged by a variety of suspects who take them on a musical trail to the final curtain.

Lawyer, Lawyer by Bob Naquin

The Sturgis Arts Council’s Show Lawyer, Lawyer by Bob Naquin

Everyone involved is a bit off kilter in this hilarious murder trial. The prosecutor’s not even a lawyer; the defendant, Ms. Slayer, boasts about her crime; the defense counsel asks the most obvious of questions and Judge Judy Moody just now realizes murder isn’t even legal.

A classic story performed in a classic way!

Sherlock Holmes & The West End Horror, a mystery by Anthony Dodge & Marcia Milgrom Dodge adapted from the novel The West End Horror by Nicholas Meyer is about a despicable theatre critic has been murdered, and Holmes and Watson are soon visited by George Bernard Shaw, an aspiring Irish playwright who entices Holmes to take the case. As they cross swords with the most famous literary luminaries of the day — Oscar Wilde, Gilbert & Sullivan, Henry Irving, Bram Stoker, and a young H.G. Wells, Holmes and Watson come face to face with their own celebrity as they pursue the killer in this rollickingly funny whodunit.

THE POST-MODERN GALLIMAUFRY KEEPS YOU LAUGHING… THIS IS A FUNNY PLAY, BUT MORE OF A LOVING PASTICHE THAN A SLASHING SATIRE…ANTHONY DODGE AND MARCIA MILGROM DODGE CLEARLY KNOW AND LOVE THEIR SHERLOCK HOLMES. AND WHILE YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE AN ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE ADDICT TO ENJOY THIS PLAY, IT’S A FAIR DEDUCTION THAT IT HELPS. SHERLOCKIANS SHOULD GET A KICK OUT OF THIS.

MARTY FUGATE, LONG BEACH OBSERVER

If you’ve never experienced a live radio play you are in for a treat. This show is a throwback to the days of old where stories only came from the radio. This show isn’t all about the stage, costumes, set, etc. It is all about the voice and the story. Come enjoy live music and sound effects that will set the stage. You won’t want to miss this classic story told in a brand-new, classic way.

From beginners to veterans

BFACT had an exciting opportunity for those who wanted to learn how to act on stage, or those just wishing to brush up on their skills. On July 20th, 2024 there was an acting workshop laying out the basics of acting on stage and the building blocks of creating a character, and it was a hit!

After playing a few fun warm-up games, the participants got to learn about GOTE and how it’s the basis for all things acting! GOTE (Which stands for Goals, Obstacles/Other, Tactics and Expectations) helps actors identify their characters motives throughout a show and can really help elevate scene work! Actors also spent time learning the fundamentals such as stage types, stage directions and the components of a stage. Actors also got the opportunity to practice what they learned using scenes and scenarios.

This workshop taught people how to be comfortable on stage, know how to play to your audience, and practice some small scenes. There was also some instruction on breaking down monologues.

All Aboard!

Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.

Good evening. The story you are about to witness is one of romance and tragedy, primal murder, and the urge for revenge. What better way to spend a pleasant evening together?
