TCTB Review Roundup: Shows Closing This Weekend

Friends, don't miss your chance to see these shows closing THIS WEEKEND!

UNDER THIS ROOF by Full Circle Theater Company at Guthrie Theater
Cherry and Spoon: http://bit.ly/cs_underroof
"It's a simple story of friendship and family, with moments of lyrical beauty mixed with the mundane stuff of everyday life... a realistic and ultimately hopeful look at the challenges that life throws at us."

MARISOL by Theatre Coup d'Etat at SpringHouse Ministry Center
Cherry and Spoon: http://bit.ly/cs_marisol
"It's a wild ride, one that's at times confusing or difficult to watch, but so chock full of meaning and symbolism that I can't even begin to unpack it all. The production is very thoughtful and detailed, and not one I will soon forget."

THAIS by Minnesota Opera at Ordway Center for the Performing Arts
Bugaboo Musings: http://bit.ly/2L4wJRu
"Minnesota Opera’s production of “Thais” is a lavish spectacle that will leave you breathless. Stage Director Andrea Cigni masterfully brings to life the two disparate worlds of the main characters Thais and Athanael – two worlds that are destined to never coexist."

SHE LOVES ME at DalekoArts
Cherry and Spoon: http://bit.ly/cs_dalovesme
"They employ a smaller cast and band on a much smaller stage, and blissfully no body mics, which only makes the experience more sweet and intimate. "

It's Monday, so clearly it's time to plan your weekend theatergoing. In addition to all the new shows opening, here's a few to catch before they close. We've got pirates, white whales, spirtualism, dementia AND labor disputes. DANG.

Non-Holiday Shows - TCTB Review Roundup

Finding non-holiday theater this time of year can be a challenge, but Cherry and Spoon has a few suggestions. Act fast - all three are closing this weekend!

History Theatre ORPHAN TRAIN: http://bit.ly/cs_orphan
"The wonderful ensemble of seasoned pros and children alike, the excellent folk/Americana score played by a sparse but lovely orchestra, and the moving stories about immigrant orphan children in search of a home is a very affecting combination."

Interact Center for Visual and Performing Arts WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE: http://bit.ly/cs_fools
"It's such a beautiful thing to see people of various abilities working together to create art. What Fools is filled with much humor and heart, and a spirit of playfulness often lacking in Shakespeare."

Theatre Coup d'Etat THE CRUCIBLE: http://bit.ly/cs_cruc
"A well executed site-specific, intimate, and sobering production of a classic that's never felt more relevant and necessary."
