The laughs come fast and furious in the new comedy show “Mistakes Were Made.” Jason Schommer hilariously looks back and relives a lifetime of choices and mistakes with unforgettable outcomes and lessons learned that are both hysterical and outrageous. Nothing ever seems to quite turn out as planned for Jason!  With unexpected twists and turns and an honest no-holds-barred delivery, Jason keeps the audience on the edge of their seat with a truly one of a kind perspective and side-splitting laughs. 

“Mistakes Were Made” is a high energy comedy show. It illustrates how even the most mundane decisions we make can lead to unpredictable and outrageous conclusions.   

This evening of non-stop comedy includes a special performance of “Little House on the Prairie: Pandemic! (The Lost Episode)” by Prudence from Bowlus and her Theatre Troup! This parody, with a special local twist, is based on the social media posts written by Jason during the pandemic featuring the characters of the TV show “Little House on the Prairie.” Join Prudence from Bowlus as Laura Ingalls (Halfpint) and her nemesis, Rhonda as Nellie Oleson, as they tackle the pandemic and all its craziness head-on!

Joining the fun is audience favorite Kelly Cordes on piano and vocals with pre-show and intermission music. Kelly continues to wow audiences with her powerful voice and emotional delivery of songs. She ranges from well-known hits to the top of the charts from hidden gems to deep album cuts.
