Show: INSOMNIA DOGS
Venue: Mixed Blood
Excited for what's next
As a first time producer, INSOMNIA DOGS was such an impressive journey. The performances were all unique and grounded, the direction was clever, and the props/production design were so compelling. I will 100% be on the lookout for them in the future.
Company: SUPERMOON
Show: All Your Shimmering Gold
Venue: Rarig Stoll Thrust Theatre
the future of theatre
This is the kind of show that reminds you what theatre can be. Bold choices. Thoughtful, intelligent, creative, challenging, stunning, and captivating storytelling. I have not stopped thinking about All Your Shimmering Gold since I left the theatre. I am grateful for art like this in the Twin Cities.
Company: Melancholics Anonymous
Show: Joan of Arc for Miss Teen Queen USA
Venue: Rarig Stoll Thrust Theatre
Drop Dead Gorgina
Joan of Arc is such a playful satire and so beautifully polished by the MA team. It felt like an ode to "Drop Dead Gorgeous" and held both hilarious and heartfelt moments. Special shout out to the GOOSE OF ALL GEESE! If this show isn't already on your Fringe schedule be sure not to miss it before its gone!

I have an improvised song stuck in my head.
Wow wow wow, can you build a better improv-semble?? Powerhouse after powerhouse after powerhouse. These performers build off of each other seamlessly. The excellence, trust, and creativity SEEPED from the show. I had such a great time.

Okay... yes... I teared up at an improv show!

Dark and intriguing
This show is delightfully complex and keeps you piecing it together at every crossroad. Wonderfully performed and written- Martin and Motz are a great team, with Motz truly shining in his role. Go see this show!
Company: Theatre on the Rocks
Show: A Good Cancer to Have
Venue: Mixed Blood
Vulnerable, beautiful, funny.
This show walks a delicate and beautiful line of irreverence, depth, and vulnerability. Sam is undoubtably an amazing storyteller- but being able to write an tell a story so close to being in it is exceptionally impressive. Go see this story and share in this stunning hour of humanity.
Company: Richie Whitehead
Show: The Wickie
Venue: Barbara Barker Center for Dance
All hail the Wickie!!!
Wow wow wow. This show was so deeply funny, playful, and exciting I was literally bouncing in my chair like a kid. Richie has amazing timing and builds such a playful report with the audience (oahshawn) that you are all cheering for him. Plus extremely well executed production design. Fav of the fringe so far.
