Fringe festival, yes, it’s still happening. Best. Week. Ever.
Shows I’ve seen that I recommend:
Deadline: A Choose Your Own Adventure Story
Once Upon a Time in the Suburbs
I would recommend Four Clowns except that they had their last performance last night. I had a rather heavy, nervous clown come and sit on my lap. It was excruciatingly delightful.
Remounted shows I saw last year that were great:
Show’s I haven’t seen but that I recommend because I’ve heard good things about them from people I trust:
Angelina Jolie is a Zionist Whore! or, Plan 9 from Baghdad
Disney Dethroned: Snowcahontas and the Tangled FrogBeast
The Great Midwestern Drug Circus
Your Responsibility for Sex Failure
My final weekend game plan:
4:00 Today Minnesota Middle Finger by Ben San Del Presents at Theatre in the Round
Then house managing the rest of tonight and all day tomorrow…
Then Sunday! Seeing shows all day.
1:00 Comedy = Tragedy + Someone Else by The Importance of Being Fotis at U of M Rarig Thrust
2:30 The Smothers Brothers Grimm by Comedy Suitcase at U of M Rarig Thrust
4:00 Not sure, maybe The Trunk by Siege Perilous Films at U of M Rarig Xperimental or Balls Out! by Late Night Menu at Mixed Blood
5:30 The Duties and Responsibilities of Being a Sidekick by The Barkada Theater Project at Gremlin Theatre
7:00 Either seeing Tortoise in Flight by Third Rabbit Dance at U of M Rarig Proscenium or Death Perception by Schroedinger’s Dog at U of M Rarig Xperimental, depending on my mood.
8:30 Encore Performance. These are announced 11pm Saturday at Moto-i and Sunday morning on the Fringe Festival website. I’m hoping for You Only Live Forever Once at BLB.
Of course, Friday and Saturday night will be finished off at Moto-i (Fringe Central) and Sunday we’ve got the Fringe closing night party at the Varsity Theater. All fringe staff, volunteers, audience members and friends are welcome at both.
All of this will be followed by taking Monday off, and sleeping.
