OROVILLE, CA (MPG) - Join Butte College Drama for a performance journey with “The Trail to Oregon!,” a hilarious musical parody of the classic Oregon Trail game by Team StarKid. This exciting and humorous show will be performed April 4 to April 6 at the Butte College Black Box Theater.

“The Trail to Oregon!” is a fast-paced, audience-driven musical comedy that takes the audience on a wild and entertaining journey along the Oregon Trail. The story follows a hapless pioneer family as they face unpredictable challenges, from deadly dysentery to stampeding buffalo. With catchy songs, witty dialogue and interactive elements, this musical is suitable for all ages.

One feature of this production is that the audience chooses the names of family members and shapes the adventure, just like in the original video game. This interactive element adds an extra layer of fun and engagement, making each performance a unique experience where no two shows are the same.

 

Directed by the Butte College Performing Arts Drama Department’s Kevin Muster, the production features a cast of Butte College students.

“We are incredibly excited to present “The Trail to Oregon!” to our community,” said Muster. “This musical is not only fun and entertaining but also a great opportunity for our students to showcase their talents and hard work.”

Tickets for “The Trail to Oregon!” can be bought online at buttecollegeperformingarts.ludus.com. General admission tickets are $20, and student tickets are $10.

“The Trail to Oregon!” performances will be at 7 p.m. April 4, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. April 5, and 2 p.m. April 6 at the Butte College Black Box Theater, 3536 Butte Campus Drive, ARTRS 160, Oroville.
