Okay, I’m not usually one for these sorts of sappy tributes…but this guy was one of my favorites.

Hooray! A Midsummer Night’s Dre–WHAT THE FUCK?!

Posted by fringefamous on 29th May 2008

lobotomized donkeyGood news for you, kiddies…especially if you didn’t get cast in the Guthrie’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. You’ve got a second chance because Park Square Theatre (the 2nd most boring theatre in the Twin Cities) is holding auditions!

I’m pretty sure it’s only an Equity call and you can get all the info here, but more importantly: WHAT THE FUCK?!

Okay, I realize this is not breaking news. I understand that Park Square has had this show scheduled for a while. I know that I’m just finding this out now, but my question remains: WHAT THE FUCK?!

Why on planet Earth would Park Square do this show four months after the Guthrie? Was it a dare? Did somebody think this was a funny joke? I just plain don’t get it. And to make matters worse, it’s billed as a “special return engagement”. So these morons actually produced the show already…and then thought to themselves “ya know, there jist isn’t enough a them Shakespeare doins in this here town — let’s do ours AGAIN”.

I’d say that the Twin Cities has the theatrical imagination of a lobotomized donkey, but that would be an insult to lobotomized donkeys. And if there’s one thing I said I’d never insult on this blog, it’s the lobotomized donkey population.

What do YOU think about lobotomized donkeys?
