Reif Education is known for offering professional instruction in theatre and dance. The goal is to nurture a passion for the arts in local youth so they can carry the torch for coming generations.
A lofty goal in a “normal” year but add the regulations and restrictions brought on by a pandemic and you have a real challenge on your hands.
This challenge was accepted by Reif Education Director Katie E. Smith and her band of brave creators. For the past few weeks they have been hard at work collaborating and creating a show from scratch.
“The first couple of days we just brainstormed ideas and played improv games,” Smith said. “These kids are very creative and they were full of great ideas. A couple of themes that really got the group excited were Medieval times and Scooby-Doo. When you have fifteen kids agree on an idea, you run with it! So, our show is a Scooby-Doo inspired mystery that takes place at a medieval fair, titled The Medieval Maniac.”
The students have helped to write the story and jingle, choreograph a dance, coordinate costumes and build and paint props and sets.
“This is very much a team project. Everyone has contributed ideas and the kids have learned how to work together. I am always blown away by what kids will come up with if you give them a chance to be creative,” Smith said.
The three-week workshop will culminate in two performances of The Medieval Maniac.
Both performances are free to the public and will be held outdoors. Everyone is encouraged to bring a chair a support local youth and the arts.

The Reif Arts Council and Woodland Bank are excited to announce a special Thursday, August 20 fundraiser outdoors (covered) at the Jerry and Shirley Miner Multi-Use Pavilion at the IRA Civic Center in Grand Rapids; featuring the popular duo Deuces Wild – Dueling Pianos (DWDP). Proceeds directly benefit the Reif Arts Council general fund.
DWDP features internationally renown artists David Charles Eicholz and Ted Manderfeld.
Son of a miner from the northern woods of Minnesota, Eichholz is a versatile, self taught musician who plays the piano, guitar, saxophone, harmonica, trumpet and countless other instruments. Eichholz was also part of the “Pringles” Award winning band “City Pretty” as well as the band “Rave On!”.
Eichholz was featured internationally on the Swedish television show ‘Christine’. He was then recruited by Little Ditty’s, Dueling Piano Bar at the Mall of America in Minnesota where he performed four nights each week for five years. He also recorded and produced the sound track to the “Prime Target” video game (50,000+ copies sold), and was also featured in an issue of WorldTraveler Magazine, the in-flight publication of Northwest Airlines.
Eichholz has been performing the dueling piano concept for over 18 years and prides himself on being able to hold the attention of his audience from the moment he takes the stage till the last note of the encore. You won’t find a more polished entertainer with such a wide variety of skills.
Manderfeld got his start in Deuces Wild by walking out of his day-job and demanding an audition. Although he hadn’t previously played in a dueling piano style show, his amazing showmanship and obvious ability to perform as a world class entertainer blew away the competition! Since then he has played thousands of dueling piano shows with performances all over the country!
When not on the road with DWDP, Manderfeld spends his time as a producer of sold out shows, including the Billy Joel and Elton John tribute show “Eye 2 Eye,” and the ever popular annual “Rock n Roll Xmas Spectacular,” which he co-produces with former Jonny Lang guitarist Paul Diethelm.
Manderfeld also spends time in the studio as jingle writer, recording artist, and producer of both his first CD “Gather Us In,” and his Rock and Roll Xmas CD, “Trim My Tree.” and “RRXS – Live at The Paramount” CD. He’s been an actor and a game show host! Whether it be in front of thousands of people opening for HBO’s Dennis Miller, or selling out theaters with Deuces Wild nationwide… Manderfeld has consistently proven that he truly is a showman’s showman and musician’s musician.
