Worlds Collide
Throughout history, Minnesota has been home to many great things: The Replacements, Mary Tyler Moore, The Hold Steady, The Mighty Ducks (sort of), and more cutting edge theatre than you can shake a stick at. Some of you may have caught our Winter show at The Prop Theatre, AND THEN IT BURST, a collection of short plays by Minneapolis-based playwright and all around awesome theatre dude George McConnell.
Chicago is fortunate enough to import some more great theatre from the Twin Cities this summer at (you guessed it), the always wild Prop Theatre. Read on for the details. I saw various work from many of these fine artists at The Bedlam Theatre Twenty Ten Fest a couple of months ago and was thoroughly blown away by their balls to the wall riskiness and humor (two things I always value in theatre). Bottom line, I'm going to be at this show and so should you. It's one night only, so spread the word and pack the house! I promise it will be a blast.
FANCINESS Vs. THE VOID
Friday, June 18th, 2010
8:00pm at The Prop Theatre (3502-4 N. Elston Ave.)
The Cat Fish presents: FANCINESS Vs. THE VOID. Three people are floating aimlessly though the ocean in a small shanty-boat after a mysterious apocalyptic event. Can they find meaning in their lives beyond pure survival? Is there any point to making art when there is no audience? If love does not exist, is it possible to invent it? A story of humanity lost and found, improbable romance, and fish singing country music.http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cat-Fish/345545336962?ref=search&sid=1622755796.8456692..1
The Cat Fish is Savannah Reich and Samantha Johns, working in collaboration to create exciting new works of theatre. We believe that theatre is a living experience that is born from artists communicating in mysterious ways, we believe that theatre is not a mirror to an experience but is itself an experience, and we believe in large dance numbers. Maybe you caught our show "Dali's Liquid Ladies" on tour last summer. You can check out some photos and reviews on our facebook page at
Script-Savannah Reich, Director-Samantha Johns. With original music by Luc Parker of the Chickadee Mountain Martyrs. Set design and construction by Lois Rhomberg. Featuring Paige Collette, Jon Mac Cole, Brandon Ewald, Kait Sergenian, Carly Wicks, and Kat Wodke.
We are packing our boat in a van and hitting the road! This will be our first tour stop, it will be very exciting, and we hope to see you there!
Thanks for reading, everyone!
