With a decade as big as the 80s, one play just isn’t enough

In 2017 Belle Fourche Area Community Theater presented another night of one acts, a favorite of many volunteers over the years. This time BFACT went back to the 80’s to present three comedic one acts based on different 80’s genre favorites. The night started with Hero of Eternity, a spoof of the 80’s classic He-Man with a twist. Frightmare at Butcher Lake 3: The New Class was a send-up of the slew of slashers that permeated the decade. The night ended with the musical Johnny Wayward and the Sirens of Nuketown, a favorite of anyone who loved Snake Plisken or Mad Max, but with singing.

I could literally see you. I just started walking that way, it wasn’t even like twenty feet. Also, I have ears.

A Show That Couldn’t Happen Anywhere Else

This show will always hold a special place in the hearts of many who participated in it. The writer of Hero of Eternity writer, Derek Olson’s first words were He-Man and he was able to grow up, write a spoof of He-Man and even get to play him on stage. BFACT is such a special place because we get to provide such off the wall opportunities for people you can’t really get anywhere else. Even beyond that, the show had a large cast of people who were game for anything, especially given many of them played roles in each show. It was a night of laughs, from the audience and backstage. How often do you get to say you get to be murdered by a hooded slasher with a sharp tennis racket and then thirty minutes later sing like Pat Benatar as you murder mutants. It was a special show for everyone involved.
