THANK YOU, MICHELLE VOUGHT

After five years of dedicated service, Dr. Michelle Vought has decided to leave the Prairie Fire Theatre Board of Directors to spend more time performing and visiting her son Nic, who lives in Chicago. To say that we will miss Michelle’s enthusiasm, joy, and unrivaled talent is an understatement. Michelle brought her smile and valuable professional insight to every meeting, activity, and show we produced. However, just because she’s leaving the board, doesn’t mean you won’t see Michelle on the Prairie Fire Theatre stage. She performed in many PFT productions over the years and will, hopefully, continue to grace our stage.

Michelle, thank you for all you brought to the board and to each of our board members. Your friendship is truly valued, and we will miss your contribution to our meetings as well as your support for all our productions. We hope you enjoy spending more time performing and doing fun things with Nic. We’re sure you will continue to grace our community and our world with your talent.

THANK YOU to everyone who has helped us kick off our 2026 fundraising season by making an early donation, giving us a solid foundation for our 2026 season!

OUR PURPOSE

Drawing from an exceptional pool of local talent, Prairie Fire Theatre makes high quality, professional music theatre and light opera accessible to children, adults and seniors in our community, thus enhancing the quality of life of the residents of Bloomington-Normal and the surrounding area.

OUR HISTORY

Prairie Fire Theatre was founded in 1998 by local artist Robert Mangialardi. Our initial focus was solely on bringing high quality, professional music theater and light opera to adult audiences. In 2003, we expanded our mission to include elementary school aged children by producing and taking our children’s opera to local elementary schools.

OUR DONORS

As a patron of the arts, you understand how much music adds to the richness of our community. Since 1998, Prairie Fire Theatre has played a vital role in bringing high quality opera and musical theater to Bloomington-Normal. We couldn’t do it with our donors. If you would like to donate to Prairie Fire Theatre, you have several ways to do so. Donate here.

About our 2024 production of Treble Trouble…

The Land of Melodia needs a heads up because Count Sticky Fingers is planning to steal all their notes and feed them into the Music Munching Machine! And those notes include the magic Star Notes that must be hung and sung in the palace courtyard each night as the moon rises. That ritual is the only protection Melodians have from the Petrification Curse, which has begun to leak out anyway. Before you know it, Queen Adagio’s legs will be turning to stone! It’s up to Princess Poco. Can she recapture the notes and reverse the curse before it’s too late?
