The Cream of Wheat Caper: A Melodrama on the Red River

Oh, dear! In The Cream of Wheat Caper, the heiress has been kidnapped and Mayor Griggs is scrambling to meet the ransom unless a brave soul can swoop in and save her. This lively comic melodrama draws inspiration from real Grand Forks figures like Captain Alexander Griggs, Cora Smith Eaton, and Elizabeth Bull Merrifield, inviting the audience to boo the villain, cheer the hero, and sing along to familiar 1800s tunes like "Coming Around the Mountain" and "Bicycle Built for Two". Enjoy a beautiful summer evening at the Myra Museum as the cast transports you to the 1890s, with root beer and Coca‑Cola ice cream floats available and plenty of time to explore the museum’s historic grounds before the show.
