The sound of footsteps in the hall, the turn of a key in the lock, the sudden ring of a telephone ... and the perfect murder is underway. An ex-tennis pro thinks he's concocted the ideal plot to murder his wealthy wife, while giving himself an airtight alibi -- until his plan springs a leak. This masterpiece of construction and plotting by Frederick Knott ("Wait Until Dark") weaves a tangled web of red herrings, back-stabbings and blackmail that'll keep you spellbound from start to finish, especially in the up-close and intimate style of The Gremlin's new thrust theater.

Winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, this breathtaking story by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater shines with what "Entertainment Weekly" called, "the most gorgeous Broadway score this decade." "Spring Awakening" explores the journey from adolescence to adulthood with poignancy and passion.

With its hauntingly powerful alt-rock score and electrifying fusion of morality, sexuality and tragedy, there's never been a better time to be exhilarated by the story of "Spring Awakening".

Explore rarely seen artifacts from The Bakken Museum's collections and experiment on the fringes of science! Follow the footsteps of innovators throughout history with interactive activities and presentations, and decide for yourself what is fact, fiction or somewhere in between. Objects on display will include the infamous Glass Armonica, as seen on Mysteries at the Museum. Invented by Benjamin Franklin and originally used to play "soft" Italian music," it eventually fell out of favor with its fans after its purported side effects were said to plunge listeners into a "dark and melancholy mood, that is an apt method for slow self-annihilation." Try your hand at the museum's own visitor-friendly version and see for yourself. Curator Adrian Fischer will be on hand delivering two timed presentations at 6:30pm and 7:30pm, focusing on objects such as the Glass Armonica, the history of Franz Mesmer and mesmerization, as well as sharing the more curious and sometimes creepy stories and artifacts from our collection! Evenings at The Bakken Museum is an excellent opportunity to experience the museum after hours, enjoy a cocktail or drink and experiment with STEM activities in a unique environment. This adult event is for guests 21 years of age and older. [less-]
