Kyle and Sean Are Lovers at the Minnesota Fringe Festival

Saying I loved Kyle and Sean Are Lovers feels sort of like saying the Holocaust was a neat idea and efficient means to an end. There’s so much “What the fuck??!!” happening in the world today. It’s brutal out there, with morals and ideologies and misguided beliefs and grounded beliefs and no agreement on which is which, and then we grapple with (or watch with horror on the news) the actions we take as a result. Kyle and Sean Are Lovers is disturbing, true. Definitely a thought-provoking piece that could have stood to be padded out beyond its 30-minute run time (though time doesn’t exactly fly by in watching). I was a bit distracted by the couple in front of me who thought the show was HILARIOUS and also thought that running commentary throughout the show was acceptable theater behavior. How I dream of a magic audience member eraser wand. I can’t say much more about the show without spoilers. If what I’ve said so far is intriguing to you, it’s worth checking this show out, and quickly, as they’re front-loaded the first five days of the festival and then gone, gone, gone. Some will say good riddance, but I’ll miss them. They’re on to something. Proceed with caution. Rarig Arena.
