Well, our agenda for tonight is as follows. "Bards" is by the same group that did "Deviled Eggs" last year, and it was a hoot and a half. "Monster Movies" is a really dumb title, IMHO, but the story-teller is one that I saw last year and liked quite a bit.

7:00 PM
Bards
Presented by Four Humors Theater at Southern Theater

8:30 PM
Monster Movies with My Undead Dad
Presented by Nancy Donoval at Playwrights' Center

These would be my picks in each timeslot:

5:30 # Ritz: Tom Thumb, or The Tragedy of Tragedies
7:00 # Mpls Garage: The Cody Rivers Show: Flammable People
8:30 # Interact Center: The Broken Brain Summit
10:00 # Ritz: Alpha Come Home: A Bawdy Puppet and Clown Show

I didn't actually see "Alpha Come Home," but Richard did and he spoke highly of it.

I left the TC as a KID! So I don't know, what the heck is the Fringe Festival? Is it like Ren Fest only for rassels and fringes?

Nah, not like the Ren Fest. It's a bunch of theater types doing little productions of various types at all the little theaters in the city. It's like an intro to alternative theater with some added buzz because so many people are seeing so many different things all at the same time. I feel more arty just knowing about it.

If you're only going to see one, then Cody Rivers as recommended by dreamshark. Strange and hysterically funny sketch comedy. If you want to take a bit more of a chance (and see a longer show) they I'd suggest The Most Mysterious Day of the Year; a phantasmagorical outing in a Bring-Your-Own venue. The one everyone is talking about is Macbeth, which I'm seeing tonight, but I don't recommend that because the Scrimshaws are local and might put it on again, and because it's likely to be sold out.

Also, it's not really all that good. Amusing in a sophomoric way, but you can do better.
