Shameless plug of the day (weekend)—Twin Cities Improv Festival

by Matthew A. Everett • June 26, 2008 • Just got tapped to start writing for the community arts website MNArtists.org (I’m actually getting paid for arts writing in something other than comp tickets – a most welcome first, I’m very excited.) My first assignment, the equally exciting Twin Cities Improv Festival. I’ll be immersing myself in nearly all of the performances, and I’m doing a lot of background work in advance, to try and get the context right. Then four days after TCIF is over, the piece is due.

Single White Fringe Geek (and Mom) is the blog of Matthew A. Everett, one of four bloggers covering the Minnesota Fringe Festival for the Daily Planet.


There’s a great mix of local and out of town improv acts on display (plus they have workshops by the visiting artists going on over the weekend during the day) – all at the Brave New Workshop

Thursday 6/26 – Larynx, T-Rex Force, Stevie Ray’s, SCRAM (Chicago), Vaudeville With a Pig, 123 IMPROV!!, and Toy Soup

Friday 6/27 – pH (Chicago), the Election Show (Seattle), Rampleseed, Irish Mutts (San Francisco), Five Man Job, Coldtowne (Austin, TX), Girls, Girls, Girls (Austin, TX), Pimprov (Chicago), and Neutrino – Twin Cities

Saturday 6/28 – the Onion Writers (NYC), Ferrari McSpeedy, the Josh and Tamra Show (NYC), Brave New Workshop, BASSPROV (Chicago), Survivors of the Undead Plague, and Darby Lane (NYC/Los Angeles)

Sunday 6/29 – Police Cop Detective PI, Mustache Rangers, HUGE, and Buddy Daddy

For tickets and more info, visit www.twincitiesimprovfestival.com

Entering his sixth year of blogging about the Minnesota Fringe Festival (and bringing Mom along for the ride as a guest reviewer), Matthew A. Everett is also a local playwright and three-time recipient of grant support from the Minnesota State Arts Board. Information on Matthew and his plays can be found at matthewaeverett.com.

News you can use

Choose your school

By James Sanna , TC Daily Planet

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

By staff , l'etoile magazine

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 »
