The as the curtains drew closed on the final act of Wilson Creek’s production, HARK! A Woof at the Door or Rufus’s Revenge, marking a 40th anniversary of melodrama at the Historic Star Theater.
The cast, still adorned in their exaggerated stage makeup, filed out of the theater, with their excitement of the performance and friendship.
With laughter and chatter ringing in the air, they made their way across the street to the Weiser Elks Lodge, where a delicious spread awaited. The cast and crew indulged in a delightful array of fun food prepared by the dedicated folks at the Weiser Elks.

This post-show gathering served not only as a celebration of the production but also as a tribute to the countless contributions from both the cast and support crew.
From the dramatic highs of cheer and villainy to the cherished moments behind the scenes, this special night was a lively tapestry of memories, stories, and shared laughter. Reinforcing the bonds forged over months of practice and performance. As the melodrama concluded, one thing was clear: the magic of theater is alive and thriving, united by the laughter and creativity that has entertained audiences for four decades.
Here’s to many more melodramatic adventures to come!
