One final review, and..

Ohh! The closing of "Eurydice" was too short, too short.. lovely audience, lovely cast, lovely crew, lovely all!

One final review from TCDaily Planet. "Walking Shadow’s production provides the audience with a fitting showcase for this intensely personal and poetic script." and "Scott’s facial impressions are especially noteworthy." Whoohoo! So lovely! Many thanks to all!

And upcoming shows!

And reviews!

Fancy!

Star Tribune... So thanks to Walking Shadow for holding this exquisite jewel to the light with exceptional care and affection. It is that rarest of things: a sad joy." oh!

Aisle Say Twin Cities... "Bryan Grosso, Bethany Peters, and Jen Scott's trio of stones serves as a perfect anchor to this floating world: both comic and repellent, they embody the underworld’s imposed silence and suppressed thought.) ... It is a tribute to the Walking Shadow’s courage and ability that they have chosen such a challenging play and have staged it beautifully."

CityPages was nice, but thought we could have done better.

And MPR wonders "What did you think?"

Pretty happy. Yea! :) 

We've opened!

Creepy creepy stones.

Unexpected Fringing!!

This year, I have PURCHASED tickets to the Fringe Festival. ...(Which feels more like a commitment than actually performing in the Fringe Festival.. In that sort of 'good' way commitment... I will see your art for a nominal fee!)

Despite the purchasing, I will also be performing in the Fringe Festival!

I'll be performing with The Theater of Public Policy at the Brave New Workshop Student Union!
Sunday August 12th at 7 p.m.

So cool? So cool! Why, here's a trailer! 

2012 Fringe Festival Trailer from The Theater of Public Policy on Vimeo.

Also, I'll be performing in Stop Talking: A Game of Talking at the U of MN Rarig Experimental Theater!
Friday August 10th at 4 p.m.!

(Stop Talking is a delightful game which usually dissolves into swearing. Sometimes not. Often so.)

Please do Fringe. It makes August awesome. Thanks, friends! :)
