  • MXTW on the Interwebs!

    Our trip was fantastic and I promise to tell you all about it over the next few days, but I’m still too exhausted to compose my own thoughts tonight so here is everything I could find on the Internet that includes other peoples’ thoughts: Star tribune review: http://www.startribune.com/entertainment/onstage/100086549.html?page=2&c=y Shockwave video interview: http://www.youtube.com/user/BaronDave007#p/a http://barondave.livejournal.com/266959.html Behind the…

  • Fringe Adventure: Day Seven Teaser

    Ok, so finding time to update the blog while here was a lot harder than I anticipated. Sorry, loyal followers. I will just have to fill everything in later, but I wanted to go ahead and give you a preview of this story’s penultimate happy ending (the ultimate happy ending being everyone getting home safe…

  • Fringe Adventure: Day Four

  • Fringe Adventure: Day One

    Our trip began with much excitement and anticipation. Here we all are in the MAC parking lot getting ready to set out on our Fringe Adventure. We learned that while we make great theater together we do not make a great interstate highway caravan together, but we all managed to convene for lunch at Palmer’s…

  • Performance Schedule at the Minnesota Fringe Festival

    I will not make the same mistake twice! So, it was pointed out to me, after our regular workshop performance earlier this summer, that I had failed to put performance information up on the blog. Let it never be said I cannot learn from my mistakes, or, at least, not in this instance. living traces…

  • Let the Buzz Begin!
