B4 YOU DIE - 3/5/09
We haven’t done one of these since October, so let’s see if I can remember how it goes. Let’s see…usually, you’re about to die on Monday in some ridiculous way. The following are the shows you should see between now and then.
THURSDAY — Romeo and Juliet
As much as I tend to dislike Shakespeare and shake my head at corporate theatre, I’ve heard nothing but great things about this CTC production. Grab a kid, a few bucks and head to the Cargill Stage by 7:30pm.
FRIDAY — Happy Days
Holy eff balls…a Guthrie Corp. show?! That’s right. I just can’t deny the greatness that is Sally Wingert and Samuel Beckett. I’m really, really sorry, small theatres. I just couldn’t pass this one up. And neither should you. 7:30pm at Guthrie Corporation.
SATURDAY — R.U.R.
Commedia Beauregard keeps ramming “this is the play that invented the word ROBOT” down our throats. But who the fuck cares about that? All I know is that it’s a cool play being produced by an inventive company. If this new translation is any good, you could be in for a fun night. Plus, it’s their opening. Yeah, openings (that’s what Gaye said)!! 8pm at the People’s Center.
SUNDAY — Hitchcock Blonde
7:30pm would be your last chance to see Hitchcock Blonde at the Jungle. Joel Sass directs this nifty little show. It’s good, but it’s a long one. Go prepared. Also, go wearing your erection pants, ‘cause Antonette Trussoni is in it. She’s extremely attractive, according to a study conducted by my penis.
Show To See If You’d Rather Just Kill Yourself: Oh, I dunno…what’s playing at the Chan right now?
