Event Description: 

Lamb Lays with Lion is proud to present The Little Skeleton That Could Not Thursday November 20, 2008 at The Hexagon Bar. Developed as a company, this intervention is designed specifically for the bar audience and away from comfortable theatrical norms. Company members will engage their audience through self-help and info-tainment to “talk about important subjects”; especially the Three A’s- Alcoholism, AIDS & Anorexia! This performance will not take for granted the audience’s passivity- in The Little Skeleton That Could Not, the performers are at the mercy of the audience, a sensibility normally reserved for stand-up comedy, rock concerts, and magic shows. Expect all of it, expect none of it.

Music by Fort Wilson Riot, Plastic Chord and Speed’s The Name to follow.

Lamb Lays with Lion is an Original and Experimental company dedicated to the exploration of unique and radical new forms, virtual and spectral expressions, and the thrust into a new age of art; one in which expectations are checked at the door, to be replaced by ear plugs and open minds.

Where: The Hexagon Bar
2600 27th Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55406

expanding, pushing, and breaking boundaries

Although I have yet to make the trip to Mineapolis to see a Lamb Lays with Lion production (mention of their work has trickled its way westward to Oregon), I am familiar with Mr. Catterton and his high artistic standards. I would just like to add that although I could not comment as to whether or not someone may enjoy this theatrical work, it will most definitely be a new experience for the patron/participant and just as a conversation with Mr. Catterton may linger and provoke for days and weeks to follow, this production should be no different. I encourage support for this theatrical company because they are not driven by money and stardom, but by expanding, pushing, and breaking normal theatrical boundaries and norms to interpret stories and themes in new mothods. Kudos!

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

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 »
