1st Place: Nuncrackers
2nd Place: Cheap Antics: Best of Show
3rd Place: Anything Goes

The picks for best local theatrical production this year all have something in common (besides that they’re all plays). Each of the three winners were put on by the Chippewa Valley Theatre Guild. Topping the list was their production of Nuncrackers. The play, which combined holiday spirit, a classic ballet, and fun-loving sisters, depicted Nuns performing The Nutcracker. Coming in second is Cheap Antics: Best of Show, a frugal and funny production featuring a handful quick-tongued and zany performers. And, wouldn’t you know it, voters also loved the musical production Anything Goes, complete with fancy footwork, and fast-paced farce. They sure know what they’re doing over at the Theatre Guild. – Bailey Berg
