While at Dartmouth, Maureen wrote award-winning lyrics for the Hums contest, and acted in and directed several plays. Maureen is also a graduate of the University of Chicago Law School -- where she participated in the Law School Musical, eventually directing it. After law school, she formed an all-lawyer comedy troupe that performed several times at Zanies Comedy Club in Chicago. Maureen practiced law for fifteen years, before moving to the Twin Cities in 2002. At that point, she decided to take the time necessary to combine all these experiences into writing her first full-length musical.

This production will play at the Bryant-Lake Bowl all remaining Saturdays in November: November 10, 17 and 24 at 7:00 p.m. Starting at 5:30 p.m. on November 10th there will also be a "Meet the Playwright" catered reception at the theater. All are invited.

Tickets to the show can be purchased online at www.bryantlakebowl.com (choose link for "Theater;" choose any Saturday night in November and press "Buy Tickets Online" under the "Almost Got It Made" blurb).

More about the play: It's Christmas Eve in Bunyan Bay, Minnesota and cantankerous bar owner Gunner Johnson gets in an argument with his wife, Clara, tells her he’s skipping Christmas, he storms out of the bar, goes snowmobiling across the lake, falls through the ice, and goes into a coma. He comes back in his dream where he's visited by folk legend, Sven Yorgensen, who plays the ghost of Christmas past, present, and future. Sven takes Gunner (Scrooge) on a journey similar to that in Charles Dickens’ "A Christmas Carol" only very different. Will Gunner come out of his coma and find redemption with Clara at The Bunyan? Find out.

Featuring 17 original songs including: The Christmas Cheese Polka, Gunner Fell Into an Ice Hole, The Wheel is Turnin’ but the Hamster is Dead, I Love You More Than Football, Stuck in a Chimney, The Bunyan Beguine and I'd Rather be Naughty.

The community service event held for Bolder Options on Sunday, July 8, 2007 was a tremendous success. Thank you to everyone who was able to help during the event or give of their time in the planning stages over the last year. We had over 20 alumni and family members spend their Sunday afternoon in the heat and then rain to help set up and serve food at the BBQ which was held for about 60 Bolder Options mentors, mentees, family members, and staff. The event was to welcome home 10 supporters of Bolder Options who had biked from Bolder, CO over the past 14 days. Their group raised approximately $40,000 for the organization through this bike ride, and Bolder Options was very thankful for our support of this event.

Bolder Options is a tremendous organization with many ways that we can get involved as a club or you as an individual. If you have any question about Bolder Options, or would like to learn about other ways you can get involved in the future, please contact Aaron Larson at  or via phone at 612-636-8838. More information can also be found at their website, as well as a link to a recent clip from the “Today Show”.
