Remember Frank’s Dinner Theatre from years ago? It was the place to be for an all-in-one evening of food, fun and entertainment. It’s returning in 2025! Join us at the beautiful Backstage at the Meyer where you can sit back, relax and be served a night to remember with dinner and a show.
Diamonds and Gold and Festival Foods present, “Brent the Musical” at the Backstage at the Meyer, May 7-10, 2025. This show premiered at the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts in 2010 and also played in La Crosse, Eau Claire and our home stage, the Meyer Theatre in 2011. In addition to writing the show, Frank Hermans also wrote 5 original songs for the production.
Have you ever had to make up your mind? Meet Brett…err, we meant Brent. He’s been playing bar league softball on The Bar’s team for years and can’t decide if it’s time to turn in his jersey or keep playing for another season. Teammates Chunky, Frankie and girlfriend Amy Green know that with talent like his, it would be crazy to give up the game. However, he is getting older and he’s not sure how long he can carry the team on his back. And gasp! Rumors are flying he might join another team in the league. Lisa Purple from Stadium View might be negotiating a trade deal. Would he really turn in his jersey and wear the colors of the enemy? You’ll have to see for yourself.
Cast includes all original performers of the production: Frank Hermans as Brent, Pat Hibbard as Chunky, Paul Evansen as Frankie Bag-A-Long-Johns, Amy Riemer as Amy Green and Lisa Borley as Lisa Purple.

Good morning Green Bay and welcome to WDUM TV-7, news you can understand. You’ve come to count on your dream team of anchors to deliver you fast, and occasionally accurate, news around Northeastern WI. We’ve got Frank Burgundy delivering the main stories of the day at the news desk. Then we have Brick Hibbard, who may or may not know where he is, on the weather. Champ Hibbard is up next giving us the slammy on sports. Finally, you know and can hardly tolerate him, our live and alive reporter on location, Paul Fantana. However, ratings have been dwindling lately and station boss Tom Harken thinks the team could benefit with some fresh faces. Mr. Harken decides to audition – gasp! – some ladies. Can Amy Corningstone find her place in a man’s world? Will Lisa Loo Loo prove her worth at the weather map? How will the tried-and-true male anchors adapt to having women on air and around the station? You’ll have to see in our new and all-original show! Stay classy, Green Bay.
