Sod House Theater Performances

Don’t miss the upcoming production of Arla Mae’s Booyah Wagon!

The purpose of this Sod House production is to bring attention to eating local and local farmers and the importance of food and community.

A little about the show:

Minneapolis. Actress (and friend of Sod House) Sarah Agnew is devising the fall show called Arla Mae Booyah’s Wagon. “It’ll be a very funny family friendly play that will last about an hour and fifteen minutes. We’ve cast the funniest actors in Minneapolis!”

They will be performing in Hastings at the Rotary Pavilion on 4 Sep (6 p.m.) and 5 Sep at 3:30 p.m. For a complete list of tour locations and dates, please visit the Sod Theater website.

The Premise of the Show:

The story is about Arla Mae, a rural Minnesotan, who claims to have the first food truck in history. Arla Mae, an octogenarian, spent years traveling MN and making booyah out of her food truck, and after 25 years of campaigning the museum, she finally receives a letter that states a museum official will come to take a look at the wagon if she is able to dust it off and throw a Booyah. A bit like the set up in Waiting For Guffman. At the height of Arla’s booyah making, most of the ingredients came from cans and there was little to no diversity in greater MN. Now, years later, upon her return she discovers that there is an enormous immigrant culture in greater MN and that the flavors and ingredients have changed. People’s communities and palates have changed and everyone is better for it.

Sod House Theater creates professional theater experiences in close collaboration with Minnesota communities. Through playful and respectful working interaction, we gather and affirm local artists and technicians, illuminate timely and relevant issues, and create an empowering space for public dialogue and reflection.” Read More
