Show: Empty Nest

Fly out of your empty nest straight to this show
This heartfelt and hilarious show is a labor of love for this inspiring couple, their adult daughter and the Minneapolis St. Paul community, especially all of us of a certain age. Some very good advice about marriage and how to stay in touch with your adult kid is woven throughout this show. Boundaries! Individual activities! Shared hobbies! The rant about menopause should be required reading and posted around workplaces, civic spaces and everywhere because it is FIRE. So many laughs and some teary eyes too. I will be looking for what they offer to us next year...
Company: Melancholics Anonymous
Show: Watership Down
Venue: Rarig Stoll Thrust Theatre
I love this show - PERFECT THEATER.
I read Watership Down in 3rd grade and this show brought me fully back to the thrilling and life affirming story. What can I say - all of it came together delightfully - the coordination and subtlety of the acting, the excellent and beautifully performed original music, the rabbit-y earthy toned costumes with varieties of vests and ears, very effective rabbit nose makeup, artful humor, real poetry and I won't share some other wondrous surprises so you go see it yourself. The theme of building and caring for your "warren" is timeless, truly relevant now.
