ProducerMahmoud has been a staple of the Twin Cities acting and improv community for the past 20 years. He can regularly be seen performing with the improv troupes Sympathetic Magic, Jesters Comedy, Oasis Laugh Battle, and Fantastic Voyage, as well as a monthly gig at The Dinner Detective. Some of the game shows that he has perused over the years are Wheel of Fortune, The Price is Right, Jeopardy, and the Nickelodeon classic Double Dare! In this year's Fringe he can also be seen in Soap-Prov at the Nolte Xperimental, Stories From the Trauma Dump at Phoenix Theater, and M at the Barbara Baker Center for Dance. Many thanks to Kort, Dylan, Jenifer, and to Sabathani!
Dylan Ward
Producer/Co-Host ADylan Ward is very excited to be hosting his very first live game show in the Fringe Festival. He discovered the performing arts in high school and has stayed involved ever since. He has been in a number of production with multiple companies in and outside of Fringe, including but not limited to; Theater On The Park, Desperate For Approval, Cromulent Shakespeare Company, Yellow Tree Theatre and Deft Pictures – the last of which also has a show in this year’s festival at the Round called “Not Bad For A Punk Band” Apart from theatre, he also enjoys creating stop-motion films on his Youtube channel Wardverse, and you can watch his science fantasy series Skymound there! He hopes you have a great time and enjoy the show!
Kort Lindblad
Producer/Co-Host 1This is Kort's second time producing a show at the MN Fringe Festival, and his first time performing on stage in general since 2016. Kort has been a fan of game shows ever since his parents taped all those episodes of the Nickelodeon classic "Legends of the Hidden Temple". This past winter he served as Stage Manager for Eden Prairie Players production of Little Women, and in 2025 he wrote and directed the cyberpunk themed Neon Breeze, for which he was a co-recipient for the MN Fringe Golden Lanyard for "Rockstar Production Team" alongside the rest of the cast and crew. When he's not collaborating with amazing folks under the name The House in the Woods, you can find him playing movie trivia on Thursdays at Morrisey's Irish Pub in Uptown, or attending Member Open Play at the Minnesota Playwright's Center. Kort would like to thank the rest of the Quadrilogy team for their time and dedication.
Jenifer Gitzen
ProducerThis is Jenifer Gitzen’s first production with House in the Woods. She studied theater at Winona State University where she was nominated for an Irene Ryan Scholarship for her performance as Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest. After college she worked for Stages Theater Company where she was the Stage Manager for The Woman and the Bird. She was also the Assistant Stage Manager for Lord of the Flies and “Dot and Tot of Merryland”. Today her acting is reserved for playing TTRPGs with friends. She would like to thank Kort Lindblad for this opportunity to participate in a stage production once more.

1. What is this show?
Quadriliogy is a game show where four players from the audience will compete in three games for a chance to win a grand prize. Each performance will be centered around a different theme celebrating the Twin Cities and the performing arts:
Thursday August 6 at 10 pm - MN History and Folklore
Sunday August 9 at 7 pm - MN Sports
Tuesday August 11 at 5:30 pm - Shakespeare
Friday August 14 at 8:30 pm - Musical Theatre
Sunday August 16 at 2:30 pm - MN Fringe Festival 2026
But it’s not all just fun and games…well, actually, it is. I mean, it is a game show after all. But to get things back on track, we’ll also be having a lot of surprises and silliness in store for the audience. And the best part is that our artist proceeds for this show will be going to benefit the Sabathani Community Center in South Minneapolis! Audiences for this show can expect to have a good time for a good cause.
2. How do I play?
Four players from the audience will advance through a series of three elimination style rounds.
Round #1: True Stories!
The first game is a test of memory. The host will read a story related to that night’s theme, and the players will then be quizzed on the details of the story that they just heard. The first three players to answer four questions correctly will proceed to the next round.
Round #2: Legorama!
For this game, the three players will be given a prompt from which to construct a scene out of Lego. Once their building time is up, each player will be given the spotlight to show off their Lego creation to the audience. The audience will then vote to decide which two players will then advance to the final round.
Round #3: Trivia Lightning!
The two remaining players will then be quizzed one at a time in a game of rapid fire trivia. Each contestant will be given one minute to see how many questions they are able to answer correctly. Once both contestants have played, the player with the most corresct answers will be crowned the winner for the night.
One more thing!
Earlier I mentioned that each of our performances will be centered around a specific theme. While our structure and rules for each performance will stay the same, the content of each show will be determined by the theme listed for that particular day. So for example if you are interested in playing and you also happen to be an expert on Shakespeare, or someone who loves Minnesota Sports, check out our show schedule to see what topic you think will give you the best shot at winning.
3. What can I win?
So much cool stuff! We are putting together a grand prize package for our final contestant each night containing the following items:
2 Passes to the MN Children’s Museum courtesy of Mahmoud Hakima
2 Passes to the MN Science Museum
2 Passes to the American Swedish Institute
1 $25.00 Gift Card to Pizza Luce
1 $20.00 Gift Card to the Namaste Café
1 Chai Growler courtesy of the Namaste Café
…And even more!
In addition to these fabulous prizes, we are also still reaching out to different local groups around the Twin Cities to make our prize package for each night even more spectacular, so keep an eye on this space in the weeks to come for more updates. If you are connected with a local business/group and would like to contribute prizes for our show, please reach out at kortlindblad@gmail.com if you are interested donating prizes for us. We will also have consolation prizes awarded to each player, including candy and passes to other Fringe shows, so no one playing will be going home empty handed. To each and every one who has been able to donate to our prize pool so far, we wish to extend a warm and heartfelt thanks for making this show possible.
4. About Sabathani
Our artist proceeds for this show will be donated to the Sabathani Community Center. Located in the heart of South Minneapolis, Sabathani provides assistance for fifty-thousand local residents every year. That’s nearly an eighth of the population of Minneapolis! From helping new americans find sustainable jobs, to providing maternal health care resources, to running violence prevention programs, and coordinating events with an emphasis on fostering community and education, Sabathani is a shining example of the connection and togetherness that makes Minneapolis, the Twin Cities, and the state of Minnesota such a special place. We could not be more thrilled to support such a wonderful organization in their mission. A very special thanks must be given to Scott Redd, CEO of Sabathani, and Sherri Green, Sabathani’s Director of Critical Services, for giving us the go ahead to do this silly show for them. If you would like to donate further to Sabathani, you can click the “tip artist” icon on our show page to be taken directly to the donation page of their website, or you can follow this link here.
