Andrew Erskine Wheeler
Creator/performer
This is Andrew's 5th Fringe and 3rd as a solo performer/creator. Andrew's 2019 solo show, BOOTH'S GHOST, won the Artist Pick & Venue Pick Golden Lanyard Awards. His 2022 solo show, WHOOSH!, was the recipient of the Charlie Bethel Solo Artist's Grant, and won the Artist's Pick & Fringe w/ Benefits Pick Golden Lanyard Awards. In the Summer of 2023, WHOOSH! received a generous grant from the St. Anthony Falls Heritage Foundation and was produced by the Minnesota Historical Society for a sold out run at Mill City Ruins. Andrew is tremendously honored to announce an expanded version of WHOOSH! will be coming to St. Paul's History Theatre for their upcoming 2025-26 Season. WHOOSH! runs January 29th - February 22nd 2026 at History Theatre. Hope to see you there! Along with theatre and solo performing, Andrew performs regularly in films, television, commercials, and voice-overs. His day job is at St. Paul's Trader Joe's. Come on by and say hello!
More Information

To honor the 250th anniversary of the United States, the National Endowment for the Arts has provided a list of 250 suitable American Heroes to be the subject matter of future grants. The list of heroes is taken from the proposed list of 250 sculptures for the National Garden of American Heroes to be located in the Black Hills of South Dakota near Mount Rushmore. Conspicuously absent from that list is one of the most famous (and admittedly infamous) names associated with the Black Hills, and all of American history, General George Armstrong Custer. From a restless haunt along the Greasy Grass, Custer's atrocious, asinine specter looms and laments over the vainglories of life, and his own infamous legacy of the Last Stand at Little Big Horn. In The Garden Of American Heroes is a satirical, scathing, and scandalous indictment of what has currently befallen the National Endowment of the Arts and what it means to be both memorialized--and metastasized--into American cultural mythology. A play about American memory, myths, and monuments as told by a monumental a**hole.

 

“Atrocious!” “Astounding!” “Asinine!” 


Ozymandias as told by Aladdin’s Genie, Wheeler In The Sky revels in Kings and Fools: Titanic emotions, laughter thru tears, archetypes and archvillains, cathartic, confessional, irredeemable characters seeking redemptive arcs; sometimes colossally wrenching, sometimes colossal wrecks. 

Here's a link to the list of names from Donald Trump's Executive Order 13978 regarding the creation of the National Garden Of American Heroes.

Coming this Summer to the historic Southern Theatre for the 2025 Minnesota Fringe.
