The Community Plaza, a property of the Cedar Cultural Center, used to be a fenced-in, empty space that was inaccessible and wasn’t used for much. On April 23, this space has transformed into a place for authenticity and culture. Continue Reading

Fringe Orphans 3: The Legend of Orphans’ Gold is playing at Theatre in the Round. Continue Reading
In Jumpin’ Jack Kerouac, at the Rarig Proscenium, choreographer Windy Bowlsby takes on the challenge of teaching a bunch of veteran Fringe writers to dance. The Fringe preview gave the impression that the show might be played for laughs, but the whole production was done with sincerity and commitment. The result is a show that is a celebration of the collaborative spirit of the Fringe Festival itself. Continue Reading
Reach, presented by Nautilus Music-Theater at the Rarig Xperimental, is a buffet of new music, sung by some of the Twin Cities’ best singer-actors. I never miss the Nautilus collaborations at the Fringe. While I enjoy the frantic energy of the “fringier” musicals, it was nice to hear a show where intonation wasn’t optional.

Marie Jeanne Valet Who Defeated La Bete Du Gevaudan, by Sandbox Theatre is playing at the Southern Theatre. I highly recommend it; there are three performances left including one tonight (Tuesday) at 5:30. Billed as “something different” this drama uses music, movement, puppetry, and storytelling to tell the tale of a town terrified of a mysterious monster devouring its citizens. Eerie and lush, Marie Jeanne is powerfully moving. Continue Reading
