TCTB Review: "the bull-jean stories" at Pillsbury House Theatre

Our Blogger Cherry and Spoon Took in the one Woman show the bull-jean stories at Pillsbury House Theatre. The show plays through February 5th. They recommend the show stating "the bull-jean stories is a beautifully lyrical look at love and resilience through the lens of a Southern Black lesbian woman in the early 20th century, with an impressive performance by #TCTheater favorite Aimee K. Bryant." https://bit.ly/cs_bulljean

Blood Knot at Pillsbury House

Blood Knot at Pillsbury House Theatre, closing June 16.

From Play off the Page "Blood Knot is a powerful play, intimate, daring, and provocative." http://bit.ly/2VvSZrr

From Cherry and Spoon "Despite being written almost 60 years ago in a country on the other side of the planet, Blood Knot, currently playing at Pillsbury House Theatre, feels very relevant to the here and now."http://bit.ly/cs_bloodknot

She Persists at Pillsbury House Theatre (through March 24 only):

Cherry and Spoon: "Some of these plays are funny, some sobering, some inspirational, and are all smart, thought-provoking, well-written, well-directed, and beautifully performed by this four-woman cast." http://bit.ly/cs_shepersists

Cherry and Spoon on: When We Were Young and Unafraid by Persistent Theatre Productions at Fallout Urban Arts Center:
"The untold story it tells is that of domestic violence, always an important story to tell and to hear. Persistent tells it with a strong cast in an intimate setting that leaves nowhere to hide from the sometimes difficult emotions." http://bit.ly/cs_whenwe

Minnesota Theater Love saw Mother Courage and Her Children at Pangea World Theater: "A fascinating work with a rich and complex history, and it's exciting to see Pangea's take on the play." https://bit.ly/2Cp00DH
