In Memoriam 2012.
Mustardians, we mourn those dear ones who are gone, but never forgotten.
Thank you.
Thank you for believing in the Mustard.
Thank you for sending a little magic our way.
Thank you for giving your pennies, dollars, and hearts.
Most of all, thank you for making our Gods Of The Prairie dreams come true.
Where the Mustard is, there our hearts shall be.
The Colonel Mustard is mighty flattered. Thank you from the bottom of our bursting hearts! (Taken with instagram)
The Plagues came and went! We all survived somehow.
“The creators of X FILES: THE MUSICAL and JURASSIC PARK THE MUSICAL! present an unprecedented theatrical adventure …

Imagine the United States in the 1800s ruled by Norse gods, benevolent and cruel, funny and vicious. Imagine a young con artist with one chance to make it big in a small prairie town. Imagine being asked to join his adventure instead of just watching.
This is Gods of the Prairie, a musical like none you’ve ever seen. It’s loosely based on Wagner’s Ring Cycle and Nebraska history, with the open structure of adventure videogames like The Legend of Zelda. We’re trying to push the boundaries of what theater can be, and one of our biggest goals is to engage people who never would’ve thought “going to a show” was something they’d enjoy.”

We’re asking for $2,500 to create Gods of the Prairie. We can make the show happen for that amount, but that’s modest for a production of this size, and with every extra dollar raised, we’ll be able to infuse the show with more magic and spectacle.
Money raised will go toward all the essentials for an amazing outdoor theatrical adventure: sets, costumes, props, lighting, sound, special effects, and for renting some of the locations.
We already have a conservative budget worked out to make sure the money you donate will be accounted for and spent carefully. This is going to be bigger than X Files: The Musical in every way - we need more actors, more crew members, more musicians - not to mention that instead of being a musical stuck in one spot, big scenes of Gods of the Prairie will take place at more than ten separate locations around downtown Lincoln.
We’re dreaming big with this one, and we know we can make it happen in spectacular fashion… but only with your help.
Episode 22: with Laura Hendrickson
A little love fest. Join our host Phil and our friend (and Phil’s GIRL-friend) Laura Hendrickson, for another delightful chapter in what is sometimes a delightful book. Things start getting steamy for Alyosha Karamazov and Grushenka, and they start heating up for Phil and Laura, too — but don’t worry, gentle listener, that is only because “the room is hot”. Join us for gags, giggles, and wine goggles. It’s a special episode of The Brothers Karamazov and Friends with Benefits…where the benefits are somber scholarship and perspicacious ponderings.
The Colonel Mustard is very pleased to announce that the XFTM Soundtrack is now available to download via Bandcamp!
You’ll hear all the new classics, Mulder & Scully’s duets, and the awkwardly adorable Lonely Gunman quartet. Here’s the complete track list:
You can choose to pay what you want for the download. And, don’t hesitate to share it with your backyard-musical-loving friends!
We hope you love it in one try as much as we loved making it in one try.
Episode 21: with Tanner Huckabee
A tale of smells. Join our host Phil and our friend Tanner Huckabee, a proud graduate of Georgetown University, as they merrily make their way through the miasma of a meaty chapter, “The Odor of Corruption”. Oh yes, there are stinks and spirits, wenches and worries to be encountered, but all these are met with vim and vigor by our venerable host and guest. Tanner entertains us with a decidedly redneck interpretation of Russian accents, and also interprets Alyosha’s voice with what can only be described as the polar opposite of a Mickey Mouse voice. All in all, this is a very fine episode. As fine as it gets here on the Brothers Karamazov and Friends, where fine is far more than we ever expect.
