New show:

Romeo and Juliet in Winnipeg: Two teens escape bickering Baptist families in bucolic Burnsville. Old dogma breaks into new insanity in 1969, while Romeo and Juliet make out for 491 miles on a high school choir tour to Winnipeg.

This original one-woman show by Laura Littleford premieres August 6 at 5:30 p.m. at the Playwrights' Center, 2301 Franklin Avenue E, Minneapolis as part of the 2010 Minnesota Fringe Festival.

Stay tuned for opening festivities that will include posting online reviews. This will be like the old movies when Broadway stars waited at Sardi's for the New York reviews to first appear--but with our laptops, we won't have to wait!

Friday, August 6 at 5:30 p.m.
Sunday, August 8 at 4 p.m.
Wednesday, August 11 at 7 p.m.

Past Shows:

Wails Wales Whales is an inspirational story about transforming a chronic pain illness into opportunities for personal growth and deeper connections to family and community. Based on the writer’s six-week trip to Wales, Wails Wales Whales Whales uses the experience of a trip to the land of ancestors to present an inner journey of healing.

The Core, a one-woman musical revue, presents the intersection of community and personal paths on a journey to the earth’s fiery core. Inspired by Arthurian legend, In the Heart of the Beast’s 2005 Annual May Day Parade, and Teletubbies.

In the White Harvest: The Importance of Road Construction interweaves the past and present within a story about a ten-year-old girl who accompanies her father, a Southern Baptist preacher, to a storefront mission in South Minneapolis. Told with heartbreaking humor, this autobiographical tale presents spirituality as rooted in a child’s experience of family.

GanELVIS: East-West meets North-South in this story of recovery and spiritual healing. GanElvis recasts Ganesha, elephant-headed Hindu god of new beginnings, as Elvis Presley, king of rock'n'roll.  GanElvis premiered at the Center for Independent Artists in 2006 and was featured in 2007 at Manna Fest, a festival of spirituality-based shows in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
