Company: Tyler West
Show: Small Minded
Venue: The Southern Theater
Lots of laughs, for sure
He is a talented clown and storyteller. There were some excellent moments, but the show is overall uneven. I wish he had delved deeper, and with more clarity, into the shows theme. I did laugh a lot, though.
Company: Melancholics Anonymous
Show: Watership Down
Venue: Rarig Stoll Thrust Theatre
Excellent piece of theatre
Excellent piece of theatre. It is well staged, clever, well performed, and has excellent. This youthful company demonstrates talent and discipline. Probably the best thing I've see so far.
Company: Kind Fool Theater
Show: Witness Loudly
Venue: Strike Theater
Good storytelling, from one who experienced it.
Storytelling in a low-key conversational way. I came away with great respect for Kyle, and all those who played active roles combatting Metro Surge and the immense damage it did. This is definitely worth seeing.
Company: Three Second Memory
Show: Who We Are: Stories from the Surge
Venue: Open Eye Theatre
A moving piece worth seeing.
I'm not quite sure how to define this show. Readers theater, docudrama, maybe story circle. The stories are all true. I came out mulling over how little I knew about the damage that Metro Surge has done to our city, state, and country. This isn't great "theatre," but it is an excellent show to see.
Company: Lethan Candlish
Show: Who Am I, Again?
Venue: Mixed Blood
A personal journal well told
Lethan takes us on his personal journey of survival. He also brings to life his fellow survivors Tony, Larry, and Sarah. Though this particular production would benefit from a little editing, I felt genuinely moved. This is really worth a look.
Company: One T Productions
Show: After the End
Venue: Mixed Blood
A dystopian tale well told.
A gripping story, well written, and extremely well performed. I felt I should deduct one kitty for the horrible sound. His choice to use electric guitar seemed odd. Neither of us was able to understand a single word of his lyrics, the guitar was so overwhelming, in a space where acoustic would have been enough. I think I recognized Bowie's Space Oddity, so I assume the lyrics were probably always apropos. However, the show was so good overall that I couldn't dock it.
Company: Seán McArdle / Hero Props
Show: Minnesota is the Shire, or Fair & Back Again
Venue: Barbara Barker Center for Dance
The Scouring of the Shire, such an apt analogy
I think I would call this a multi-media storytelling piece. Seán's style is humorous, low key, and somewhat self-deprecating. The show is moving. We came away with a renewed pride in Minnesota and a deep appreciation for Seán's passion and dedication to social justice. Go see this one.
Company: TROMPE L'OEIL
Show: Foshay! You Know The Tower - Now Hear The Story
Venue: Rarig Stoll Thrust Theatre
Nice attempt
The piece does not seem to have a real take on Foshay. It's a chronological, but unfocused story line. Good work on most of the music. Landon and Elisheva have good stage presence and strong musical comedy voices.
