DalekoArts Announces Season 10

DA's new season includes an original holiday play, a new comedy from Josh Tobiessen, and a beautifully moving new musical — along with the Daleko Friends of Friends series.


HOLIDAY SHOW! the holiday show

a Daleko original play with music directed by Ben Thietje November 26th - December 19th, 2021

A group of actors get together to write a holiday show during a pandemic, and they meet every possible challenge along the way. Hijinks ensue, lessons are learned, friendships are deepened, and there is goofiness at every turn.

Holiday Show! the holiday show is a love letter to both classic holiday stories, and an audience who has been true to their local theatre company through a very tough time. Here's to resilience, laughter, comebacks, and the true meaning of community!

LONE STAR SPIRITS

by Josh Tobiessen directed by TBA February 4th - 20th, 2022

Marley is hoping for a quick trip home to the dwindling Texas town where she grew up, but she and her hipster fiancé, Ben, are in for more than they bargained for.

Lone Star Spirits is an unpredictable comedy that looks — with hilarious honesty and heart — at what it means to be from, stay in, and leave a small hometown...and how we deal with the ghosts we all meet along the way.

ONCE

by Enda Walsh, Glen Hansard, & Markéta Irglová directed by Amanda White music direction by Anthony J. Sofie

April 29th - May 15th, 2022

On the streets of Dublin, an Irish musician and a Czech immigrant are drawn together by their shared love of music. Over the course of one fateful week, an unexpected friendship and collaboration quickly evolves into a powerful but complicated love story, underscored by emotionally charged music.

Building on the original movie's beloved soundtrack — and including the Oscar-winning, Top 40 hit, "Falling Slowly" — Once is a beautiful, moving, and hopeful tribute to the music in all of us.
