It’s opening weekend for the Masquers Theater Company winter dinner theatre production of the 1960s pop musical “Why Do Fools Fall in Love?” directed by Janice Murphy. The high-energy show at Stella’s in Forest Lake will open this Friday night. Three Masquers newcomers join one veteran in a cast of talented women. Stephanie Johnson of Blaine will be playing the role of Sally, a sassy and liberated woman. Johnson was last seen on the Masquers stage in the ensemble of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” She is the daughter of Natalie and Craig Johnson of Blaine. Laura Langreck of Scandia is taking on the role of Millie, a bride-to-be, and the perfect picture of a ‘60s homemaker. She is a stay-at-home mother of two boys, Jackson and Rhett. The role of DeeDee, an innocent and irrepressible romantic, will be portrayed by Lauren Cain of Lino Lakes. Cain is a senior at Centennial High School, where she recently played the lead, Toffee, in “Zombie Prom.” Another Masquers newcomer is Emily Temple of Rosemount, who joins the cast in the role of Florence, a shy dreamer. Temple is a full-time student at the University of St. Thomas, where she is pursuing a degree in vocal performance.

The production is packed full of classic ‘60s pop tunes like “My Boy Lollipop,” “I Will Follow Him,” “Hurt So Bad,” and “He’s A Rebel,” which means the spunky characters of “Why Do Fools Fall in Love?” are sure to entertain.
