Billings Studio Theatre: The Drowsy Chaperone Friday and Saturday Only: Don’t Miss It
See my review of The Drowsy Chaperone here. Here is the playbill for the coming year, not in correct order of course.
Duck Hunter Shoots Angel at BST
Some older guys—Vincent Raye, Shoots Veis, Ben Pretlow, and special mention of Ray Dale and Jeff Boschee—who know the ropes at Billings Studio Theatre are joined by some young women—Jennifer Olsen, MacKenzie DuBeau, and Catherine Kenney—who can play equally well.

Guys On Ice @ BST
Vint Lavender, Jeff Boschee and Vincent Ray taking their bows and singing a song after having fun Friday night at the Billings Studio Theatre. The play was about love, life and death, the Packers, ice fishing, Leinenkugel beer, and friends, which seemed to cover most of what is important amongst at least some guys from [… Read More]
