nimbus presents Nights of the Living Fringe
Back from the depths of the Minnesota Fringe Festival, five of this year\'s hottest shows have returned to the Minneapolis Theatre Garage. These audience favorite, encore-winning, critically lauded shows are back for a few nights only. Presented by nimbus and Rockstar Storytellers, together with a special nimbus production of The Zoo Story, Nights of the Living Fringe will only be here from October 15 - November 1.
An Intimate Evening with Fotis part III starring Mike Fotis
In the third installment of this somewhat popular show, Mike sits in a chair and tells stories. At first crowds say, \"He\'ll stand.\" By the end they\'re like, \"Wow, he never stood up.\"
Thursday, October 15 @ 9:00pm; Friday, October 16 @ 9:00pm; Sunday, October 18 @ 3:30pm
Crescendo starring Allegra Lingo
Through the eyes of a misfit joker, Allegra Lingo discovers that small beginnings can build into a powerful end. Inspired by the music of Aaron Copland, it\'s like Fantasia, except with words instead of dancing brooms and scary demons.
Thursday, October 15 @ 7:30pm; Friday, October 16 @ 7:30pm; Saturday, October 17 @ 7:30pm with post-show discussion; Sunday, October 18 @ 2:00pm
The Rise of General Arthur starring Phillip Andrew Bennett Low
Set against the backdrop of the first Gulf War, this military drama uses the body of medieval legend surrounding the early days of King Arthur and his knights to explore the nature of idealism in the face of armed conflict.
Thursday, October 22 @ 9:00pm; Friday, October 23 @ 9:00pm; Sunday, October 25 @ 3:30pm
Strawberry Fields Temporarily starring Ben San Del
Ben reprises his hit from the 2008 Fringe, telling tales about the humiliations of stand-up comedy, the consequences of pornography theft, and the celebration of life as a long and winding driveway.
Thursday, October 22 @ 7:30pm; Friday, October 23 @ 7:30pm; Saturday, October 24 @ 7:30pm; Sunday, October 25 @ 2:00pm
Slow Jobs starring Laura Bidgood and Curt Lund
Overworked and underwhelmed? Punch the clock with Fringe favorites Laura Bidgood and Curt Lund as they relive first jobs, creepy coworkers, minimum wage, office romances, and doing whatever it takes to pay the bills. A tale told in two timelines - Curt from past to present, Laura from present to past -- the \"zany pair\" explores hope and heartburn, illusion and disillusion, in a hilarious string of unbelievable exploits.
One night only! Saturday, October 24 @ 9:00pm
The Zoo Story by Edward Albee, starring Brian Hesser and Andrew Chambers
A man sits peacefully reading in the sunlight in Central Park. There enters a second man. 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.
Sunday, Oct. 25 @ 8pm; Thursday, Oct. 29 @ 8pm; Friday, Oct. 30 @ 8pm; Saturday, Oct. 31 @ 8pm; Sunday, Nov. 1 @ 2pm
