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

ND playwright Kathy Coudle-King has written a melodrama sprinkled with historical characters and trivia about Grand Forks' history. When the Cream of Wheat heiress Elizabeth Bull (later married to UND President Merrifield) arrives in town, she is immediately kidnapped by Rob M. Blind. Who ever will rescue this damsel in distress! It's a nail-biter fer sure!

Join the melodrama on the the Myra Museum grounds and get a tiny dose of history with a lot of laughs. Plus -- popular songs of the gay '90s -- 1890's -- will be shared. You'll be surprised at how many you know the words to, so sing along if you like!
