B4 You Die - 10/16/08

Posted by fringefamous on 16th October 2008

your tombstone

Oh, shit.  Turns out this is going to happen sooner than later…Monday, to be specific.  And you’ll die, of course.  What will you do between now and then?  See these four shows, silly! 

THURSDAY — 100

Though you wouldn’t know it from their website, Workhouse Theatre Company recently won a coveted Ivey award.  So you owe it to them to check out this show.  It starts at 7:30pm at The Warren…and they even have a nifty little video, over here.

FRIDAY — Tyrone & Ralph

Okay, okay…I know I hated on this show earlier in the year.  But this just may be one of the only times in your life (since it’s ending on Monday) that you should attend a show at the most boring theatre in the Twin Cities.  The awesome of Steve Hendrickson just barely outweighs the boring of the History Theatre in this 7:30pm show.  You’re dying on Monday anyway, so what the hell.

SATURDAY — Stitch, Bitch, N’ Die

There might not be a cooler show to see this weekend, than Joseph Scrimshaw’s show about a knitting club that murders each other.  They say it’s a BYOK: bring your own knitting.  I think I may take up knitting just so I can say I took part in something that fantastic.  Also, the cast includes Jen Scott, who just might be the most all-around talented human being in the Twin Cities.  Show starts at 7pm and, although it’s not listed on their website (tsk! tsk!), they’re over at the Bryant Lake Bowl.

SUNDAY — Amazons and Their Men

This one’s a no-brainer.  Walking Shadow has opened their next glob of awesome, and you MUST attend.  Jordan Harrison writes, Amy Rummenie directs, and Zoe Benston probably yells at you (I’m still scarred from the Fringe).  3pm at the Pillsbury House Theatre…you can’t miss.

Show To See If You’d Rather Just Kill Yourself:  The Producers over at Channy Pants.  If the goal is to fuck up a show as funny as The Producers, I can’t think of anyone more suited to that goal than The Dicknose.
