Minneapolis Theatre Garage
In nimbus' Agamemnon, the king returned from war only to find his death at the hands of his scheming wife. Now, the son will return to seek his vengeance. In this fusion of the 2nd half of Aeschylus' The Libation Bearers and the entirety of The Eumenides, the prodigal Orestes returns to avenge the killing of his father, Agamemnon, and then flees, only to be pursued by the Furies. With help from Apollo, he seeks out Athena and is thrown to the mercy of her court and a jury of his peers.
The Mail Order Bride
November 2 - November 18, 2007
Minneapolis Theatre Garage
nimbus is proud to present the regional premiere of Charles Mee's The Mail Order Bride, directed by co-Artistic director, Josh Cragun. True to Mee's "collage theater"stylings, this farce is a 2 ½ ring circus of Tai Chi exercises, nunchuck demonstrations, urban dance numbers and even a singing castrato. Along the way, both sincere and satiric observations are made about marriage, race, love and Gnarls Barkley.
