Author’s Bios
Meg Mechelke
Local playwright Meg Mechelke is a second year student at the University of Iowa. Far from her hometown of Sartell, MN, she is studying English and theatre and is heavily involved in the campus’s theatre and publication scenes. Her work has appeared both on stage and in print at the university and beyond, and she is excited to be going back to her “GREAT” roots with this project.
Author’s Note
The first play I ever saw at GREAT—quite possibly the first play I saw ever—was the 2006 production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. I was six years old, and I was TERRIFIED. My sole memory of that production is sitting crouched on the floor in the first row of the Paramount balcony, hiding behind the safety rail so that the wolves wouldn’t be able to “get me.” Here began a two-pronged fascination: with theatre and with fairytales.
Thus, it isn’t actually all that surprising that I am making my return to the world of GREAT today with a piece of theatre that is, at its heart, both a celebration and a queering of the fairytale genre, in particular the “happily ever after” ideal we all long for. It seems like a simple concept. Belle marries the Beast, Cinderella finds her prince, Buttercup escapes with Wesley… Of course, today we understand that this idea of a happy ending doesn’t have to include a man, or even a romance. Today when we tell kids to “follow their dreams” and to “dream big,” we mean “get away from your hometown, go to a fancy college, and find yourself a six-figure job in a big city.” In a way, this is just as limiting as the heteronormative, patriarchal concept of every story ending in a marriage. We are obsessed with the idea that living happily ever after means something huge and life-changing and dramatic, which is, frankly, as silly and reductive as it is unrealistic.
Thus, when I tell say that this play is about following your dreams, I don’t mean finding some huge, existential purpose in life or making a million dollars. I mean that this play is about finding the thing that brings you joy, the thing that matters most to you in the whole world, and never, ever letting it go. Enjoy!

Meg Mechelke
A HIGH-SPRITED AND COMPELLING ON-AIR RETELLING OF THE SOMEWHAT HISTORICAL EVENTS OF THE DANCING PLAGUE
Sasparella Trauffea is dancing! And she won’t stop! In this loose adaptation of the somewhat historical events of the Dancing Plague of 1518, the residents of a small town must deal with the consequences of a runaway father, an ostentatious mayor, and, of course, the brazen dancing of the Trauffea girl. Add to the mix a lovesick confectioner and a hasty engagement, and you’ve got the recipe for a rollicking adventure of a radio show that the whole family will love!
This production is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes and appropriate for audiences of all ages.
Abby Schnobrich, Director of Sasparella Trauffea is Dancing!
Loosely inspired by the Dancing Plague of 1518, Sasparella Trauffea is Dancing! is a lighthearted story that is sure to brighten up the airwaves with some good old-fashioned joy. It has certainly been a joy for me to be able to bring theatre to the community again through GREAT theatre. This one-of-a-kind show provides its own challenges, of course, but moreover, it demonstrates the tenacity and resiliency of the arts. Even in the midst of a pandemic, we can still create beautiful and brave art for all to enjoy. I want to express my sincerest gratitude to GREAT theatre and KVSC for continuing to create memorable experiences and opportunities for all volunteers and staff involved.
Since a radio show removes physical staging and visual design elements, rehearsing on Zoom provides a unique opportunity to bring character development and analysis to the forefront. We spent a lot of time in rehearsal dissecting the text and exploring the dynamics between characters. We also had the opportunity to speak with the local playwright and pick her brain, which is an experience that few community theatre actors get to have. In speaking with her, the cast was able to get a look at her creative process and better understand the development of their characters and nuances in their relationships.
Sasparella Trauffea is Dancing! is, at its heart, a story about relationships. Be it a romantic relationship, a father/daughter relationship, a friendship, or even an unsuccessful attempt at connection, relationships with other humans are what tie us together. They are the thread that we hold onto in times of sadness, uncertainty, and celebration. Now, more than ever, we are relying on our relationships and connections to others. I hope you can find in this production a mirror to a relationship or connection in your own life. May it make you want to start dancing and never, ever stop.
Enjoy!

Cast
Micah Alm (Goon 1, Ensemble, J.D U/S), is a Natural Resources Technician at Lake Maria State Park. Jimmy Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville marks Micah’s third performance at the Ledge Amphitheater with GREAT, which represent only a fraction of his involvement with GREAT in past years.

When Micah has free time, he likes baking and being with friends.
Solveig is well known throughout the Central Minnesota theatre community. She enjoys the arts and the outdoors. Solveig has been in shows like Steel Magnolias, Always a Bridesmaid and participated in GREAT productions such as To Kill a Mockingbird, Much Ado About Nothing, and the GREATer Together Broadway Revue.
Merit’s love for story-telling, creating, and the arts runs deep. They enjoy tabletop gaming, writing flash fiction, training in stage combat and more. Originally from Texas, Merit moved to Minnesota in 2014 seeking out a sense of transformation. By 2018, they began pushing their boundaries even further and found many exciting and challenging opportunities as a writer, improvisational street theatre, director and performer of performance in stand-up comedy, and traditional stage work. Sasparella Trauffea is Dancing! is Merit’s GREAT debut.
Kaleb is a writer from a large multiracial family and is in the editing phase of his first YA fantasy novel. Jay studied theatre and communication at SCSU and participated in two SCSU choirs at once as baritone in one choir and a tenor in the other. He also co-produced a few originally written grassroots plays in the Saint Cloud community and even found out about this from a person he write scripts with in his free time.
Steve has been involved in theatre and music his entire life, and in radio for more than 40 years. He also worked on the stage crew for two seasons for A Prairie Home Companion, and has had a passion for the mind of radio theatre. Steve also enjoys old motorcycles, traveling, “grandparenting”, fishing and hunting.
Steve was in GREAT’s productionn of 1776 but has also been in production like Oliver, Carmen, A Christmas Carol,
Godspell, and many, many, more.
Lori loves camping, hiking, rollerskating, and kayaking. This is Lori’s second time auditioning for a show in adulthood and proud to say her GREAT Debut!
Katelyn Holstad is an assistant teacher at Playhouse Child Care Center. She enjoys singing, reading, video games, and traveling.

Megan Myers (T.V. Announcer, Ensemble) is a Senior Administrative Assistant at Coborn’s Inc. She’s been in many shows, including GREAT productions of A Christmas Carol, Clue, and Six Characters in Search of an Author. Megan is also a producer for Pale Horse Studio. Though theatre is perhaps Megan’s favorite hobby, others include yoga, all things Disney, filmmaking, and Dungeons & Dragons.
Jason has been involved with GREAT in a variety of capacities. As an actor he has been in Singing’ in the Rain and Peter and the Starcatcher (script in hand). He has also directed The Importance of Being Earnest (script in hand) and Night of the Living Dead (radio play). Jason’s interests include performing, reading and writing.
