Shameless plug of the day (weekend)—Twin Cities Improv Festival

by Matthew A. Everett • June 26, 2008 • Just got tapped to start writing for the community arts website MNArtists.org (I’m actually getting paid for arts writing in something other than comp tickets – a most welcome first, I’m very excited.) My first assignment, the equally exciting Twin Cities Improv Festival. I’ll be immersing myself in nearly all of the performances, and I’m doing a lot of background work in advance, to try and get the context right. Then four days after TCIF is over, the piece is due.

Single White Fringe Geek (and Mom) is the blog of Matthew A. Everett, one of four bloggers covering the Minnesota Fringe Festival for the Daily Planet.


There’s a great mix of local and out of town improv acts on display (plus they have workshops by the visiting artists going on over the weekend during the day) – all at the Brave New Workshop

Thursday 6/26 – Larynx, T-Rex Force, Stevie Ray’s, SCRAM (Chicago), Vaudeville With a Pig, 123 IMPROV!!, and Toy Soup

Friday 6/27 – pH (Chicago), the Election Show (Seattle), Rampleseed, Irish Mutts (San Francisco), Five Man Job, Coldtowne (Austin, TX), Girls, Girls, Girls (Austin, TX), Pimprov (Chicago), and Neutrino – Twin Cities

Saturday 6/28 – the Onion Writers (NYC), Ferrari McSpeedy, the Josh and Tamra Show (NYC), Brave New Workshop, BASSPROV (Chicago), Survivors of the Undead Plague, and Darby Lane (NYC/Los Angeles)

Sunday 6/29 – Police Cop Detective PI, Mustache Rangers, HUGE, and Buddy Daddy

For tickets and more info, visit www.twincitiesimprovfestival.com

Entering his sixth year of blogging about the Minnesota Fringe Festival (and bringing Mom along for the ride as a guest reviewer), Matthew A. Everett is also a local playwright and three-time recipient of grant support from the Minnesota State Arts Board. Information on Matthew and his plays can be found at matthewaeverett.com.

Stories We're Working On

In progress

These are some of the stories we are working on. We invite and encourage you to contribute to these stories, or to suggest other stories that you would like to see covered.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | North Minneapolis We’ll tell you what the judge decides on the flurry of lawsuits around last winter’s Jordan Area Community Council controversy as soon as the decision is made (probably the week of July 6). What do you think about what’s been going on at JACC, in Jordan, and around the Northside? Tell us what you know – and what you think we should be covering.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | Background checks bar park volunteers
Minneapolis parks have recently tightened enforcement of rules about background checks for volunteers. But does the “systemic bias of the criminal justice system” mean that many African American males will be barred from serving as volunteers? We want to hear your ideas.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | Hmong Freedom Celebration and Sports Tournament Coming up this weekend! We’re looking for community input about the sports tournament, your experiences at the tournament, how it has changed over the years, what the gathering of Hmong from around the country and around the world means, and any other thoughts you might have about the weekend.

MUSIC | Black Blondie and Foxy Tann knock 'em dead at the Uptown Pride Block Party

By Dwight Hobbes , TC Daily Planet

The Uptown Pride Block Party on June 26 was an LGBT Pride Week affair, but you didn’t need to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender to get with it. For that matter, you didn’t have to have a dime in your pocket. All you had to bring was the willingness to enjoy a damned good time. MORE »

MOVIES | Johnny Depp and Christian Bale in Public Enemies: Michael Mann doing what he does best: Austin Kennedy – I don’t mind independent pictures using HD video ‘cause they don’t have enough money for film, but when a major studio is making a multi-million dollar picture (and a period piece at that), shoot the friggin’ thing on film.
