Ah, the vibrant pulse of Minot on this summer’s eve! As I stroll through the park, strains of funky melodies waft through the air. The Little Chicago Funk Band graces the stage for the grand finale of Sundays in the Park, their rhythms as intoxicating as the sweetest verse. Families sprawl on picnic blankets, their laughter a joyous counterpoint to the music. The aroma of savory delights from Popa’s Place mingles with the cool temptation of ice cream, a sensory feast to rival any banquet.
Yet, my thoughts drift to another spectacle unfolding at MSU Summer Theatre. “Disaster!” they call it, a comedic romp through the perils of the 1970s. How curious, to set such calamity to the strains of familiar melodies! I cannot help but ponder – does not laughter in the face of catastrophe mirror life’s own fickle nature? Perhaps there is wisdom in finding mirth amidst chaos, be it on a sinking casino or in the trials of our own earthly journey.
