Returning favorites—3 Sticks

by Matthew A. Everett • July 6, 2008 • 2005 – Mythed
2006 – Borderlines
2007 – Five Fifths of the Wizard of Oz

This year…

The Gypsy and the General

“Defeated by the enemy, the General and her entourage traverse fantastical lands as the Gypsy spins their fortunes through electrifying music in this physically daring ensemble created show.”

It says Dance, and Musical Theater on the website listings with the Fringe.

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


For a long time, it was just TBD to the world at large. The only thing I could find on their website – www.3sticks.org – was the following little clue…

“The summer production brings the return of Artistic Associate, Maya Robert-Nicoud, who will lead the company in research and collaboration on a new piece developed for the Minnesota Fringe Festival. This production will also perform in Brookings, South Dakota and may tour to the Boulder Fringe Festival and the San Francisco Fringe Festival.”

I hear Eric Avery is part of the cast. He directed “Mr. Charles, Currently of Palm Beach” for In The Basement Productions in last year’s Fringe, and had an amazing acting turn onstage a few months ago in Emigrant Theater’s “Blue Door.” The 3 Sticks crew always puts on a good, and unusual, show, and with Eric in the mix, that makes it that even more interesting.

Definitely something for the short list.

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 »
