Cherry and Spoon: "Theatre Elision is FINALLY doing FIRST LADY SUITE, one of the many shows that was supposed to open in March of 2020. Elision fills a unique niche of rarely done one-act musicals with most or all female cast and creative team. The first ladies singing?! I'm in! https://www.elisionproductions.com/first-lady-suite"

"Eurydice" by Sarah Ruhl at Theatre in the Round plays through April 2, 2023

 

Our bloggers recommend "Eurydice" by Sarah Ruhl at Theatre in the Round plays through April 2nd! Read the glowing reviews...

 

The Stages of MN: "This is a superb cast led by Eva Gemlo as Eurydice. Gemlo gives a nimble performance switching direction, emotion, and style from moment to moment and excelling every step of the way."

Cherry and Spoon: "It's a beautiful and magical 90-minute song, bringing new life to this old story...get swept away into this ancient story that has been told for centuries, but never quite like this"

The Book Club Play at Theatre in the Round in Minneapolis is "funny, uncomfortable, relatable"

Several of our Bloggers got out to see The Book Club [Play] at Theatre in the Round which runs through February 19th.

The Book Club Play at Theatre in the Round in Minneapolis

The Stages of MN had very high praise saying "Theatre in the Round Players (TRP) is having one hell of a season, perhaps their best since I’ve been a regular attendee. The Book Club Play is definitely in the conversation for the best production I’ve seen by the company." http://bit.ly/3WIgCwz.

Cherry and Spoon urges you to "Grab a glass of wine, or TRP's non-alcoholic specialty cocktail The Bookmark, and join this Book Club meeting play for some funny, uncomfortable, relatable discussions about books, art, and humanity. https://bit.ly/cs_bookclub.

To round things out Artfully Engaging interviews one of the actors from the show, Eni Ogundipe, who tells her among other things ""My favorite line from The Book Club Play is: 'Book club is like Lord of the Flies with wine and dip.'" Read the full conversation here; https://bit.ly/Eni_Interview.

TCTB Review Roundup: BLACK COMEDY at Theatre in the Round

Head to Theatre in the Round - the oldest theater in Minneapolis, now in their 68th season - for the hilarious British one-act farce BLACK COMEDY.
http://www.theatreintheround.org/new-homepa…/on-stage/black/

The Stages of MN: http://bit.ly/2tPwCVY
"Black Comedy by Peter Shaffer is the sort of play Theatre in the Round Players (TRP) does best. It’s fun, fast paced and the action takes place in one setting"

Cherry and Spoon: http://bit.ly/cs_blackcomedy
"The entire cast is fantastic in what is a classic British '60s farce of a play, with detailed and clever design to make this comedy in the dark really shine."

A Couple Comedies closing at the end of July

A couple shows that are closing July 29. Reviews by Cherry and Spoon.

"Ideation" at Gremlin Theatre "The regional premiere of Ideation by Gremlin Theatre is a taut, thrilling, engrossing, and funny 90 minutes of work colleagues going down a paranoid rabbit hole, and it'll make your head spin, in the best way. http://bit.ly/cs_ideation

"Jeeves in Bloom" at Theater in the round A "charming, wacky,and very British comedy." http://bit.ly/cs_jeeves

Rhinoceros and Our House - Review Roundup

LAST CHANCE! Here are a couple more shows closing this weekend, brought to you by Cherry and Spoon:

Theatre in the Round: RHINOCEROS
"RHINOCEROS reminds us to be wary of large lumbering beasts running through our town and destroying everything we've worked so hard to build. Theatre in the Round's production makes great use of their in-the-round space and a wonderfully committed cast to entertain while also disturbing."
http://bit.ly/cs_rhino18

Wonderlust Productions at the Minnesota State Capitol: OUR HOUSE: THE CAPITOL PLAY PROJECT
(Note: the three remaining shows are sold out, but if you arrive early you can put your name on the waitlist beginning 30 minutes prior to showtime.)
"OUR HOUSE is unabashedly sincere and optimistic about the people who work in government, but it's also harshly realistic about the inefficiencies and corruption within the system. It should be required viewing for every citizen."
