While You're At It...

...or Shows In A Similar Vein That Are Worth A Look

If you removed the gun from my head and allowed me a top 20 instead of a top 10, here's a look at other shows that will likely be on my schedule in August.

Amused and intrigued by
Plants & Animals
by Scot Augustson?

Try
The Valets, or How Little It Matters
Outward Spiral Theatre Company
Loring Playhouse

Also an "actors playing multiple roles" show, an original work being developed by one of the Twin Cities GLBT (insert your own favorite various of all the gay community initials here) theater companies specifically for the Fringe Festival. The idea goes something like this...

"A cheap hotel. Hoping to repair their broken relationship, Jim and Dan play a game where they masquerade as gay archetypes of the 20th century, but when another couple stumbles in, the game becomes all too real. As the four men relive invented pasts, they soon realize their dependence on these constructed identities and discover how these roles have shaped the community's destiny and their own."

New play, local company, reality-time tripping element, multiple levels of role playing, and a little food for thought also in the mix. I'm there.
