A visit to Jasper's Theater

For the third time, we traveled to Park Rapids, MN, to watch the show at the Jasper theater.  This is a family-owned entertainment venue.  Most of the performers are related except for a few notables.  

The theater has grown over the years in attendance and no tour-buses bring folks to view the show. 

 The theater operates on a limited schedule in the summer.

 

Jack Sand, a former weather-caster on Channel 6 in Fargo, ND, is the host, funnyman and magician in the cast.  He is one of the notables that is not related to the family. 

Kathie Brekke is the daughter of the founder, Dee Johnson, and serves as the director of Jasper’s Theater. 

Jack Sand and Darlene (or “Auntie Kreamsaugen”) Rolle is Kathie’s aunt and a very good comedienne.

Kathie’s son, Dan Brekke, is an excellent musician.  A little plug for him is stated in the label.
