Make Time On Your Fringe Schedule To SEE THIS SHOW
Hats off to the director/playwright of this show, he did a magnificent job. What a delight! The multitude of theatrical devices used in the show, as well as a stellar cast, make this a must-see show for this fringe festival. So much fun.

A Very Clever Mash-Up
This is the kind of show you hope to come across at MN Fringe Festival. Take two entirely diametric worlds, mesh them together, and follow-through until the end of the show. I haven't read "Mother Courage" since college, and the Care Bears were created after my childhood was over, but I understood and followed every last thing in this show, and it made me laugh wholeheartedly. This show really worked for me. All of the actors were great, but hats off to the actor playing the most bears; Murder Bear, Prostitute Bear, Recruitment Bear, etc.; really marvelous. That being said, my favorite bear was Sandwich Bear. While I enjoyed the Director/Brecht character, I did have a very hard time hearing him when he wasn't shouting. I was only in the fourth row, and I couldn't make out what he was saying when he was mumbling/talking low, which was most of the time. The pathos of "Mother Courage" set in the world of Care Bears, what more could you want!
