Many Fringers (like myself) were introduced to Silly Miss Tilly (aka Amber Corbett) last year when she hosted the Fringe previews (with long-suffering support from Amber Bjork for pronunciations and other necessary explanations).  

Silly Miss Tilly hosts weekly karaoke for kids and families over at Can Can Wonderland.  And now she’s bringing a version of that show to the Southern Theater stage, with help from brother/sister team Lily and Zay Womack’Odell, Ellie Barber and Yong Kim (aka, Alexander Super Tramp).

There’s pre-loaded karaoke performers but also room for adventurous audience members to get up there on stage themselves and join in the fun of singing in front of strangers.

Gotta be honest, I would totally watch that.  Hence, it’s on the list.

 

Here's some handy links to this year's Top 10 list and Top 11-20 list, also a full list of all returning favorites to this year's Fringe, plus a link to all the 2024 Minnesota Fringe Festival coverage.

While I have your attention, please VOTE :) 

Minnesota is currently in the early voting period for our Congressional and local primaries (I had the U.S. Senate, Congress, and the Minneapolis school board on my ballot) - final day to vote in the primary is Tuesday, August 13th, but you don't have to wait until Fringe is over, go vote right now :)

Early voting for the Presidential Election itself in Minnesota starts on Friday, September 20th. We're lucky to have a lot of time to get our voices heard, so cast your vote, and then make sure everyone you know and love is registered and gets to the polls to vote. Election Day, your final date to vote, is Tuesday, November 5th.

As a queer playwright and theater maker, I want a government that's compassionate and competent enough to keep us all safe and healthy, keep theaters open and running, and personally, I'd just like to be legal myself and keep the weirdos out of government and out of my personal business (and the things I post on this blog, for instance). We all have our reasons, so let's make sure we get the leaders we need and deserve, and get our friends, family and co-workers to raise their voices, too.

Find where to vote and what's on your ballot (with links to candidate websites) and other resources at the Minnesota Secretary of State's website.

Vote.  Raise your voice. We're not going back.
