I had the pleasure to catch an exclusive performance of Upright Egg Theater Co.’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream this weekend, performed at Harmony Park as part of a wedding of two company members, and it was one of the most joyous productions I’ve ever seen. There was magic in performing in the woods, by...

Fringe 2010 is over, but I still have content incoming. Nick Decker, Matthew Everett, and myself sat down on Monday and recorded around three hours of show dissection, so hopefully I’ll have the majority of that ready to go over the weekend. Already time is approaching for what I would deem season three of...

I’ve talked to a lot of people leading up to this year’s festival–more than I anticipated or expected–and I appreciate everyone who’s asked for an interview. For those I didn’t get to, I’m sorry about that. Hopefully I’ll see you over the course of the festival and we can chat then. If you’re hoping...

Here’s the deal: I need a decent banner for the page and my graphic design skills are woeful. Abysmal. Non-existent. So instead of designing something that will ultimately come out underwhelming (if not crappy), I’ve decided to do a little contest and let YOU do it. As compensation for this grand contest, I have...

As my twitter followers know, I was trying to get my officemate to Bedlam and Live Action Set’s The Happy Show. I saw it myself on the Saturday before it closed, so I spent all week word-of-mouthing, talking it up, and taking him through my own Happy Show journey: being a sympathetic thug, visiting...

For those who couldn’t attend, here is the conversation at the Children’s Theatre Co. on race and theatre in the Twin Cities. Edit: Against my intentions, the audio file went out on the feed anyway, so I put it up in a more easily digestible format.

If some people don’t know, in December the website was hacked. This was largely because of security issues, which have been addressed with the help of Craig VanDerSchaegen, who also helped out with making the site more secure. But since the hacking took out most of the infrastructure, it’s been taking time for me...
