On Sunday May 5, 2019, I went to the restaurant Casa Bonita. It was with my senior class for our Senior Capstone Trip in Denver Colorado.
The food was really good. The divers were really cool. I really liked the over all experience.
I got to go see Mamma Mia! The Musical on April 11, 2019. It was performed by Gering high school. I really liked it. I thought that it was really well done. I really liked the casting for the most part.
On March 19, 2019, I got the chance to go see Church Basement Ladies Rise up O Men. I really enjoyed it.
I have seen five out of the seven Church Basement Ladies shows that have been touring.
Men in the Parish Basement? What’s a church lady to do? “Rise Up O Men” gives the gents a chance to shine in the latest installment of the Church Basement Ladies musical comedy series. As the church prepares for participation in the town’s 1964 Centennial Celebration, we get to see their coming and goings from the eyes of the menfolk, who have their own problems to solve.
I am the stage manager for my schools production of Newsies the Musical it will run from April 4th through the 6th 2019.
I love this cast and crew with all of my heart. they have worked so hard on this show.
This cast has worked so hard. If you can make it to this show it will be some of the most fun that you will see in your life.

This is a show that I was actually in. The show ran from February 28, 2019, to March 1, 2019, at 6:00pm in the Scottsbluff High School cafeteria. This show was so much fun to be a part of. I was a waiter so my job was to get everything set up and to serve the food that the customers (the audience) got to eat. I also got to make up a character and interact with the cast. It was so much fun.
The play is a zany murder mystery where the audience watches the story unfold as they eat dinner. Part way into the play, the actors will circulate through the diners while staying in character which allows each viewer to ask actors three questions to help in trying to solve the mystery. After the audience has had a chance to write down their guesses as to who has committed the murder, the final scene is played out and the guilty party is revealed.
This production was performed as a dinner theater so what did the audience have for Dinner? For dinner, the audience was served a salad for an appetizer. For the main course, they had a tasty hamburger, and for dessert, they had a delicious rootbeer float. everything that they got to eat was really good. and all of the food was made by the Scottsbluff High School culinary arts program.

This is something that I should have technically done and posted before my first blog post was published but it´s fine.
Hi everyone my Name is Ethan Koehler.
I have been acting in shows since I was seven years old. The first show that I was in was called Children of Eden. I did that show in the summer of 2008.
I am a person who loves theater. I have been in so many productions. Theater is my passion. I want to go into Stage Management. This is because I was the Stage Manager for my school’s production of Into The Woods last year, and I fell in love with it and I am the stage manager for my school’s Production of Newsies this year.
On Thursday, February 21, 2019. I went to go see Nunsense the Musical. It was performed at The Candlelight Dinner Playhouse in Loveland, Colorado.
The cast was absolutely amazing. I was laughing at everything from the moment that the show started. You were also given dinner as part of your ticket.

The Little Sisters of Hoboken are in dire need of funds and decide to put on a variety show. Here we meet Reverend Mother Regina, a former circus performer; Sister Mary Hubert, the Mistress of Novices; a streetwise nun from Brooklyn named Sister Robert Anne; Sister Mary Leo, a novice who is a wannabe ballerina; and the delightfully wacky Sister Mary Amnesia, the nun who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head. Featuring star turns, tap and ballet dancing, and comic surprises, this show has become an international phenomenon.

On Saturday, January 27, 2019, FOX produced a live musical version of Jonathon Larson´s beloved musical RENT.
The cast was absolutely incredible.
Cast:
Jordan Fisher as Mark Cohen
Brennan Hunt as Roger Davis
Tinashe as Mimi Marquez
Brandon Victor Dixon as Tom Collins
Valentina as Angel Dumott Schunard
Vanessa Hudgens as Maureen Johnson
Kiersey Clemons as Joanne Jefferson
Mario as Benjamin “Benny” Coffin III
RENT Live was amazing.
Although it was not live because Brennan broke his foot during the final dress rehearsal the night before which was filmed. So the audience at home saw the dress rehearsal from the night before. Which wasn’t a bad thing it just wasn’t what people were expecting. It was also the lowest viewed live musical yet.
On November 25, 2018, I was privileged enough to see the national tour of the Phantom of the Opera, in Omaha Nebraska. I really enjoyed it. From the moment that it started the show just sucks you in, and I really like when shows do that.
The cast that I saw was absolutely amazing. This cast really made the show amazing and one of my favorites of the shows that I have seen live on stage.

This musical is really cool. I liked it very much. The Phantom of the Opera has just celebrated its thirty-first anniversary on Broadway on January 26, 2019, which is really amazing to think about. It is the Longest Running Musical ever.
If you have already seen the Phantom of the Opera, you can always see it again. It can be a different experience every single time you go. Especially now because the show has made some new changes after the Phantom of the Opera´s 25th anniversary on October 2, 2011.
If you go see it you will not regret it. It is so wonderful and amazing.

So many shows have inspired me in multiple ways. For example Kinky Boots the Musical inspired me to just be myself and to be happy with who I am. Matilda the Musical inspired me to read more books than I had been. Heathers the Musical inspired me to just plain enjoy my years in high school because one day I will graduate and I will miss the days that I was in high school, so I should enjoy high school while I still can.
