Last weekend! Fringe on...

by Kate Hoff • August 9, 2008 • Friday! We started off with Roofies in the Mochaccino presented by Empty S Productions at Interact. Michael Shaeffer is an extremely talented performer and a pop culture maven. Check out this collection of poems and stories – perfect Fringe. Two shows left! You’ve got no excuses. 10:00 Saturday, 5:30 Sunday.

Fringe-For-Fall again

by Phillip Andrew Bennett Low • 11/27/08 • Drifting outside of my usual comfort zone, I’m always struck by the fact that this town doesn’t really consist of a “theatre community” so much as it consists of a vast array of communities arranged around various disciplines and economic models.

Southern Theater catastrophe

by John Munger • August 1, 2008 • As some of you may know, the Southern Theater is not only a Fringe Site but also one of a handful of focal points for the nationally recognized Twin Cities dance community. You may also know that July 15, two and a half weeks ago, brought news in the Star Tribune that the founding Artistic Director of The Southern, Jeff Bartlett, had been summarily dismissed by the Board of Directors.

News you can use

Choose your school

Saturday is School Choice Day in both Minneapolis and St. Paul. If you’re the parent of a student, you have the opportunity to send your child to either the public school in your neighborhood or a magnet school. You also have the opportunity to send your child to a charter or a private school. Both school districts, and metro-area charter schools, are planning one-stop information fairs where, they say, you can find out all you need to know about schools where you might want to send your child.

Weekend What's What 1/8-1/11: Hunt and gather

Way to bounce back! The Twin Cities seem to have easily shaken off their holiday lethargy just in time for a pretty rockin’ weekend. Art exhibits, which have been on holiday hiatus as of late, are back in full effect; while rock shows and dance parties continue to ignite flames all over town. Our suggestion? Go out on the prowl! Meet some new people, see some new sights, and experience some fresh excitement. It is 2009 after all (an excuse we’ll be using throughout January, if not February). MORE »
