BIG HAIR AND BIGGER MUSIC

Rock of Ages by Chris D’Arienzo takes you back to the time of big bands with big egos playing big guitar solos and sporting even bigger hair! This Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical features the hits of bands including Night Ranger, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister and more.

It’s the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. Aqua Net, Lycra, lace, and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strips last legendary venues, a place where sex machine Stacee Jaxx takes the stage and scantily clad groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality. Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the rock ‘n’ roll fairy tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall. Can Drew, Sherri and the gang save the strip – and themselves – before it’s too late? This Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical features the hits of bands including Night Ranger, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister and more.

YEAH! ! WHAT’S GOING DOWN, Belle Fourche, Nunchucks. Go ahead, say hello to the person next to you! NO! Not the person you came with, the other person next to you! The one you don’t know yet…the one you’re going to be making out with by the end of the show!!

Pride and Prejudice

By Kate Hamill Adapted from the novel by Jane Austen

Venue

BF Rec Center Auditorium
Dates

May 12 & 13 at 7pm | May 14 at 3pm
Duration

Approx. 2 Hours (Incl 15 min Intermission)

This isn’t your Grandmother’s Austen!

Bold, surprising, boisterous, and timely, this P&P for a new era explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life. The outspoken Lizzy Bennet is determined to never marry, despite mounting pressure from society. But can she resist love, especially when that vaguely handsome, mildly amusing, and impossibly aggravating Mr. Darcy keeps popping up at every turn?! Literature’s greatest tale of latent love has never felt so theatrical, or so full of life than it does in this effervescent adaptation. Because what turns us into greater fools…than the high-stakes game of love?

Hamill…has a gift for condensing three-volume novels into galloping two-act plays. Her screwball PRIDE AND PREJUDICE…is as frolicsome as her earlier efforts. It hasn’t met a rib it can’t tickle.

NY Times

Mr. and Mrs. Bennett from "Pride and Prejudice" — Mr. Bennett (Blaine Anderson) and Mrs. Bennett (Sharon Thompson) don’t know what to do with their girls.

COME ENJOY AN ALL-TIME CLASSIC

A Christmas Carol, is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.

This show was a part of a large town-wide Christmas season, A Dickens of a Christmas. Belle Fourchians enjoyed the holiday season hometown style. Our historic downtown brought the spirit of the season straight from a storybook. Our town was full of holiday activities and twinkle!

Bah! Humbug!

Vintage Hitchcock: A Live Radio Play

By Joe Landry

Duration

Approx. 90 Min (Incl 15 min intermission)

ENJOY SOME THEATER IN A WHOLE NEW WAY

Spies, murder, love, and other trademarks of Alfred Hitchcock come to life in the style of a 1940s radio broadcast of the master of suspense’s earlier films. With The Lodger, Sabotage and The 39 Steps, Vintage Hitchcock: A Live Radio Play is a triple feature, complete with vintage commercials, that recreates a daring train chase, a serial killer’s ominous presence, and a devastating explosion through the magic of live sound effects. This was the first time Belle Fourche Area Community Theater put on a live radio play and it was at the perfect place, Venue 519 in Belle Fourche.

ROBERT, HOW ABOUT THIS AVENGER PERSON. YOU KNOW, HE COULDBE THE PERSON STANDING NEXT TO YOU OR MAYBE THE MAN YOU BUMPINTO. IT’S A TERRIBLE THOUGHT.

Getting Our Acts Together: A Night of Northern Hills One-Acts

Venue

BF Rec Center Auditorium
Dates

October 15 at 7pm
Duration

Approx. 2 Hours (Incl 2 10 min intermissions)

FOR THE FIRST TIME A NIGHT OF ONE-ACTS BY LOCAL THEATERS

Getting Our Acts Together was something brand-new for Belle Fourche Area Community Theater and the Northern Hills theater community. This show consisted of three one-acts: one by the Historic Homestake Opera House from Lead; one by the Matthews Opera House in Spearfish; one by Belle Fourche Area Community Theater. Each night was held in a different location, so each theater group could get a chance to perform in a new space and give that community a chance to see a show by other local theater groups. This was a one of a kind show so everyone who made it had a great time!

I don’t have any reason to lie, so yeah. She’s is a cop on the edge trying to take down a corrupt businessman with ties to the city. I mean Hillary Swank would have killed this role like 15 years ago.

Vendor, “Endings are Hard”

Belle Fourche Area Community Theater’s Show Endings Are Hard by Derek Olson

Creating the perfect ending to a script is easier said than done, just ask the characters of a hard-boiled detective drama who have to keep reliving the same ending over and over until it is perfect, no matter how many twists and turns that might take. The characters themselves even have some pitches on how to make it the best ending it can be, much to the chagrin of the writer.

Historic Homestake Opera House’s Show Any Body for Tea? by C.B. Gilfrod

Detective Dennis O’Finn, investigating the death of an elderly lady, discovers that he, himself, is the motive for murder. Six sweet but slightly balmy ladies are all in love with their bachelor neighbor, the handsome, forty-ish, O’Finn. To lure him to visit, they stage a homicide.

The Matthews Opera House & Arts Center’s Show Laundry & Bourbon by Jame McLure

The setting is the front porch of Roy and Elizabeth’s home in Maynard, Texas, on a hot summer afternoon. Elizabeth and her friend Hattie and Amy Lee are whiling away the time folding laundry, watching TV, sipping bourbon and Coke, and gossiping about the many open secrets which are so much a part of small-town life.

You Can’t Take It With You

By Moss Hart & George S. Kaufman

Venue

BF Rec Center Auditorium
Dates

August 19 & 20 at 7pm | August 21 at 3pm
Duration

Approx. 2 Hours (Incl 15 min intermission)

An all-time theater classic came to the Belle Fourche Stage

You Can’t Take It With You opened in New York in December of 1936 to instant critical and popular acclaim. This depiction of a delightfully eccentric family, the third collaboration by playwrights George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, proved to be their most successful and and longest-running work. Awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1936, the comedy went on to run 837 performances on Broadway and the 1938 film won an Academy Award for best picture. Perenially appealing to audiences, You Can’t Take It With You has become an American classic, regularly produced by high schools, colleges, and community theaters around the country.

You Can’t Take It With You relates the humorous encounter between a conservative family and the crazy household of Grandpa Martin Vanderhof. Grandpa’s family of idiosyncratic individualists amuse with their energetic physical antics and inspire with their wholehearted pursuit of happiness. Kaufman and Hart fill the stage with chaotic activity from beginning to end. Critics have admired the witty one-liners, the visual theatricalism, and the balanced construction of the play’s three acts.

A MAN CAN’T GIVE UP HIS BUSINESS.

WHY NOT? YOU’VE GOT ALL THE MONEY YOU NEED. YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU.

By Dick Caram

BF Rec Center Auditorium
Dates

June 10 & 11 at 7pm | June 12 at 3pm
Duration

Approx. 100 min (Incl 15 min intermission)

COME ENJOY A FUN TAKE ON A CLASSIC – FOR KIDS!

BFACT’s children’s show of 2022 Don Q and His Squire Sancho by Dick Caram is a retelling of the classic tale of Don Quixote. Miguel de Cervantes’s famed tale of the eccentric knight and his inept but trusting squire. Alonso Quixano is obsessed with tales of chivalry. So much so that he believes himself to be a knight – Don Quixote – and he sets out to seek adventure, with a peasant farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire.

Even with a huge storm, the excitement of the cast couldn’t be dampened and they put on a heck of a performance, much to the delight of the enthusiastic crowd.

Only heaven knows how much harm my craziness has caused. But Sancho was my greatest fear. He believed as much as I did – and Sancho is not crazy.

Take a Bow: A Night of Comedic One-Acts

“Pandora’s Revenge” by Pat Cook | “Boise, Idaho” by Sean Micahel Welch | “Self-HELP!” and “Coffeehouse Hotel” by Derek Olson

Venue

BF Community Hall & BF Rec Center Auditorium
Dates

April 22 & 27 at 7pm
Duration

Approx. 2 hours (incl 3 10 min intermissions)

ENJOY A NIGHT OF COMEDIC ONE ACTS!

We love doing our nights of one-acts at Belle Fourche Area Community Theater and in 2022 we had a great night of four hilarious shows. The show starts with the mystery and revenge fueled Pandora’s Revenge then transitioned to the meta commentary of story and the characters stuck in the middle of it with Boise, Idaho. Then there was the micro one-act Coffeehouse Hotel about sisters running two conjoined businesses or are they who they say they are and ended the night with Self-HELP!, the story of three friends who need some help with their lives and go looking for that help in the worst possible place.

The first performance of Take a Bow was held at Belle Fourche Community Hall but because this is South Dakota, a freak snowstorm blew through, and the cast had to tear down the set and perform a few days later back at our normal home of the Belle Fourche Rec Center Auditorium. The weather didn’t keep the cast down, nor the audience who got to spend a night of side-splitting laughter.

THAT… THAT IS PRETTY MESSED UP, I MEAN I AM A CREATURE OF PURE EVIL AND TERROR, BUT THIS BOSS SOUNDS, REALLY GROSS.

ABADDON FROM “SELF-HELP!”

Pandora’s Revenge by Pat Cook

The story goes, according to legend, that when Pandora’s box was opened all sorts of pleasures and evils escaped. Just what sort of package has Marvin Hanover opened, he wonders, as he tries to sell insurance to Miss Thorndyke. First, she really isn’t Miss Thorndyke—she’s Ida Simpkins and she doesn’t actually live at the address she gave him over the phone. She seems to have more questions for Marvin than he ever saw on any application. Panicked by the evening news and her rundown neighborhood, she grills Marvin like a hamburger patty. Lines fly fast and ferociously in this cat-and-mouse adventure with Marvin wondering just who’s the cat and who’s the mouse.

Boise, Idaho by Sean Michael Welch

The narrator of a story dutifully chronicles the meeting of a couple in a small café in Paris, France, only to start losing control of his characters once they realize he exists. Blending the lines between fiction and truth, this hilarious play examines what should triumph: reality, or a good story.

Coffeehouse Hotel by Derek Olson

Come enjoy your stay at the Coffeehouse Hotel. Or actually, you can’t enjoy yourself at the coffeehouse or the hotel. That may not make a lot of sense but in this fast-paced comedy, Tristan just wants to get his room and a latte but the sisters Maeve and Maeve aren’t going to make it easy.

Self-HELP! by Derek Olson

A night of gaming becomes anything but when the dread demon Abaddon is summoned. Three friends want Abaddon to fix the various problems in their lives but he has his own ideas and things don’t go quite like anyone expects them to. This comedic one act is all about getting what you want isn’t always what you imagine.

cast of "Boise, Idaho" — Olston (Tyler Schone) and Chastity (Heather Pittman) are annoyed because the Narrator (Allie Juso Very) decided they were supposed to be in **Boise, Idaho**

Our Annual Tradition is back in person!

Four To Go For Christmas is four fun and funny Christmas plays. In The Christmas Caper Santa is kidnapped by a little-known fairytale character who just wants to be popular. In The Night of the New and Improved Christmas, a Madison Avenue public relations firm wants to update Santa and the whole holiday tradition. In Christmas With the Cratchits, Tiny Tim’s family is ecstatic when they think they’ve won the lottery. In Million Dollar Christmas, three of the most miserly people ever known must give away a million dollars by midnight on Christmas Eve.

But elves, I’m confused. What do I need with a consulting firm way up here in the North Pole?

All Hail the new Mr. Beautiful Fork – Nathan Schreier

We want to thank everyone for making Mr. Beautiful Fork – Fight Night a fantastic event. We want to thank our volunteers: Anna Robinson; Emma Tinsley; Heather Pittman, Kelsey Gronlund; Carrie Donovan. We also want to thank our amazing Emcee, Geno Pesicka and our wonderufl contestants. Of course we want to congratulate our new Mr. Beautiful Fork, Nathan Schreier

It’s for a worthy cause

The most important thing about Mr. Beautiful Fork – Fight Night is that all the money raised went right back into Belle Fourche Area Community Theater. It costs a lot of money during the season to put on the shows and the events we do and the generosity of the people of Belle Fourche and the surrounding area is what allows us to continue.
