MINNETONKA THEATRE

The Land of the White Foreheads, written by Christine Sonnek, is an entertaining and satirical comedy that takes a look at the real-life town of Lemmon, South Dakota - circa 1986. The play features a small ensemble of actors who portray all the eccentric characters in this rural farming community.

​

Hilarious scenes include: the teenage good-old boys and girls hot rodding down the main drag on Saturday night, the older ladies in town spreading gossip through their land-line phones, the wedding of high school sweethearts Luke and Amy, and a touching funeral lead by Old Preacher Hubert and Crazy Chester. Plus sidesplitting instructions from Wilma Wizbeck on how to survive life in a small town.

​

Through quick costume changes and sharp dialogue, the show humorously exposes the quirky nature of small-town traditions! With its fast-paced humor and heartfelt observations, Land of the White Foreheads offers an amusing commentary on Midwest culture and the colorful personalities that make it so unique.
