Details

This year marks Let Me Be Frank Productions’ 27th season of entertainment! We’re kicking off our newest season with “Manawa Rodeo” running February 5–22, 2026 at the Meyer Theatre. The 2026 season is proudly sponsored by Festival Foods and Bay Bank.

Saddle up for “Manawa Rodeo,” a laugh-out-loud, country-fueled musical comedy set in a small town where the annual rodeo is the biggest event of the year. The competition for Manawa Rodeo Queen heats up as confident frontrunner Kasey, reigning queen Sarah, daring barrel racer Lisa, and fiery underdog Amy each bring their own charm — and chaos — to the arena. Overseeing it all is rodeo chairman Boss Hogg, while smooth-talking bull rider Slim Shadey, scene-stealing rodeo clown Disco Dalton, and mysterious snake oil salesman Snidely Quackmen stir up trouble, laughs, and unexpected twists. Packed with country hits, bold personalities, and classic Let Me Be Frank humor, “Manawa Rodeo” proves that winning isn’t always about the buckle — it’s about heart, community, and hanging on when things don’t go quite as planned. But the big question remains: who will be crowned Rodeo Queen? Come find out!
