Minnesota Fringe Festival shows I'm missing, but you don't have to...
There just aren't enough hours in the Fringe to see everything I want to see. Just getting started? Don't worry -- still plenty of time to get your Fringe on. If there is not a Sunday show listed, the Saturday show is the final performance -- unless they get the Encore slot at 8:30 on Sunday for the highest selling show in each venue.MORE »
Detached, The Last Ditch, and Losing My Religion at the Minnesota Fringe Festival
It's the final countdown! MORE »
Dr. Jekyll and Dr. Jekyll, the Beasts, Phil the Void, and This is Where Your Free Time Goes to Die: Minnesota Fringe Festival
I’d been looking forward to The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Dr. Jekyll at Theatre in the Round. Written by Fringe favorite Tim Uren, this show is awesome. Dr. Jekyll develops a magic potion, but, due to a little mix up, it ends up in the hands of his maid.MORE »
Ten Reasons, The Problem (with) Your Mother's Butt, Sousepaw, and Nightmare in Bakersfield at the Minnesota Fringe Festival
I was lukewarm on Ten Reasons Why I’d be a Bad Porn Star by May Lee-Yang at Intermedia Arts. Parts of the show worked really well. I love the Hmong culture bits that she does, but also realize that May shouldn’t be relegated to writing and performing about Hmong culture (and specifically the funny parts) exclusively.MORE »
Longing for Qeej, Red Resurrected, Baba and Once Upon a Time in the Suburbs at the Minnesota Fringe Festival
I absolutely love that we have a show like Longing for Qeej in the Minnesota Fringe Festival.MORE »
Rambler Family Ramblers, Cat, Super Spectacular, FLESH, Disney Dethroned
One of the beautiful things about Fringe is the happy accident, the show you weren’t planning to see, but for whatever circumstances (other show in the venue sold out, for instance), there you are. And then the angels sing and the heavens open and you meet god.MORE »
Lot O’Shakespeare, My Dinner with Andrew, 7(x1) Samurai, Minnesota Middle Finger, Comedy = Tragedy + Someone Else
Wow, what a slow start to Saturday. It’s hard to get a jump on the day when one sleeps until 11. Oh well. 1:00 came and went, 2:30 was gone and luckily, I live close enough to venues that the 4:00 was possible.MORE »
Smothers Brothers Grimm, Painting Portraits, Luke Comes to Life!, and Motherbanking Bankholes
The Smothers Brothers Grimm, presented by Comedy Suitcase at the Rarig Thrust, is a very funny show that will have appeal for the whole family.MORE »
Duties and Responsibilities of Being a Sidekick, Recovery, Change Your Underwear, Change Your Life, and Four Clowns
And we’re off. This might be the first Minnesota Fringe Festival opening night ever where I caught all four possible performances. Heeding excellent advice to stay put in one area to avoid road construction hassles, I chose Gremlin. I cut across town on Franklin Ave, skipping University and 94 during rush hour and had no problem at all.MORE »
Luke Comes to Life tonight!
There’s a show that I’m looking forward to seeing that I initially rejected out of hand. Luke Comes to Life is the sincere telling of the Gospel of Luke, by a guy who happens to be a minister.
Exactly why did I think I wouldn’t like this show?MORE »
