COMING SOON: OUR FULL 2025 SEASON

We’re currently planning our 2025 season, so please check back here in FEBRUARY to see what we have in store for you.

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.

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?
