Exceptionally well done
I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect with a Thornton Wilder homage, but this show delivered 110%. The narrator was excellent throughout. The storyline was entertaining, but it also made you think about societal fabric, political issues and larger themes of happiness. This show knocked it out of the park for me. And Emily is more than just fringe pretty! ;)
Company: Duluth Improv
Show: Duluth: An Improvised Midwest Murder
Venue: Rarig Nolte Xperimental Theatre
Worth seeing
The show was creative and funny. They did a good job of weaving in the audience participation into the storyline, which was good. The actors had good energy and made it a fun show. Definitely glad we saw it. Two things to note was that it was sometimes hard to follow the several storylines since everyone played a few characters. And it ran about 15 minutes long which jeopardized me getting to my next show at a different venue.
Company: Big Blue Theatre
Show: Walter Is Bankrupt (And Has No Money)
Venue: Rarig Kilburn Theatre
This was a miss for me.
I thought that the title was the gateway to a clever double entendre on bankruptcy as in he was also morally or otherwise bankrupt. Instead the show was pretty straightforward. I hate to be a downer on someone’s creativity, but there just weren’t that many laughs or twists.
