Presented by nimbus and Rockstar Storytellers, Nights of the Living Fringe will only be here from October 15 - November 1.
The Zoo Story by Edward Albee
October 25 - November 1, 2009
Minneapolis Theatre Garage
A man sits peacefully reading in the sunlight in Central Park. There enters a second man. He is a young, unkempt and undisciplined vagrant where the first is neat, ordered, well-to-do and conventional. With provocative humor and unrelenting suspense, the young savage slowly, but relentlessly, brings his victim down to his own atavistic level as he relates a story about his visit to the zoo.
Strike-Slip
March 12 - March 28, 2010
Minneapolis Theatre Garage
In the sprawling mosaic of Los Angeles there are as many fissures, connections, and cracks above ground as there are below. For three diverse families, a tragic shooting exposes these once-dormant fault-lines and forces them to confront the way they perceive themselves, their community and their dreams. In a city where anything is possible but nothing is durable, how will uncertainty shape the way they live their lives?
Emerald and the Love Song of the Dead Fishermen
May 21 - June 13, 2010
Minneapolis Theatre Garage
Emerald and the Love Song of the Dead Fishermen is a stylized, modern maritime odyssey which tells the story of a corporate coffee shop barista marked at birth with green hair. On the mythic Day of Dead Fishermen- the day every 25 years when all the drowned fishermen walk again on a legendary island-Emerald sets out to meet her father who died at sea the day she was born. With a blend of whimsy and poetry, Emerald and the Love Song of the Dead Fishermen combines old traditions of mythology with a humorous view of the modern life of small-town fishermen.
