"Big Fish" is a whimsical and touching tale that centers on the charismatic Edward Bloom. According to him, he’s lived a full and fantastic life populated by magical creatures, true love that stops time in its tracks and acts of heroism that push the limits of belief.

As Edward's final chapter approaches, Will embarks on his own journey to untangle the real man from the myths his father has created about his life. "Big Fish" is a heartfelt, powerful, and truly magical musical about fathers, sons and the stories that we use to define our identities. [less-]

Come and celebrate "Shark Week" with us! This month, the beauties with brains of "Naked Girls Reading Twin Cities" are baring more than just their behinds: reading selections about all things shark related, from "Jaws" to card sharks to shark tank to political sharks to riding the crimson tide! Come discover our new space in the arts district of NE Minneapolis: 2001 A Space! Readers include cast members Joy Coy, Stella Rosa and producer Queenie von Curves. Special Guest Mona Montague! Drinks available for purchase at event. It's exactly what it sounds like: Naked Girls Reading, but it's so much more. It's empowering, poignant, funny, enticing, and smart; trying to revive the art of live literary salons and normalizing the idea of nudity as something that can be celebrated and not necessarily sexual. Our readings are insightful, creative, thought provoking and sometimes hilarious. There is no larger, woven-in, multi-layered, overly complex message-nothing pretentious, nothing seedy. Once you experience it, you'll stop asking so many questions and just let the concept take you. The beauty is in is simplicity. [less-]

Oakland-based La Misa Negra and Chicago-based Dos Santos both create cutting edge music reflecting their Afro-Latinx roots and surrounding local communities. Fusing cumbia influences with psychedelic, Latin jazz, and punk threads, both bands’ hard rock stage energy will have you moving your feet and your body to the groove. La Misa Negra is a 7-piece band from Oakland, California, known for their unique blend of cumbia and high-energy, Afro-Latin music. On stage, they deliver an electrifying performance that explodes with infectious dance grooves and punk rock energy, powered by horn and accordion-driven riffs, a fierce rhythm section, and a vintage-inspired sound. Since their live debut in the fall of 2011, La Misa Negra has toured the country, sharing stages and festival bills with the likes of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stevie Wonder, Lenny Kravitz, Thievery Corporation, SZA, Mon Laferte, Julieta Venegas, Ana Tijoux, Bomba Estereo, George Clinton, Antibalas, Budos Band, and Ozomatli. Dos Santos is a quintet based in Chicago. Collectively raised through the pedagogy of Latin American traditional and popular music, their future-minded sound gestures forward into an idealized new progressive American music, as rooted in Chicago as it is communicable with the world. The group’s five members (Alex Chavez, Jaime Garza, Nathan Karagianis, Peter Vale, Daniel Villarreal-Carrillo) have their own storied careers in a range of styles—including jazz, R&B/soul, traditional Mexican folk, punk, cumbia, salsa, and electronica -- in addition to a history of involvement in arts education and social justice organizing.

Recognized as one of the most successful folk rock duos of the '70s, Brewer & Shipley have remained true to their original form for an astonishing five decades. Although best known for their Top 10 signature song, "One Toke Over The Line," which permanently etched their names in rock history by becoming an anthem of the '70s counter culture, Michael Brewer and Tom Shipley were by no means a one trick pony. In all, the duo landed three singles on the "Billboard" charts and had the pleasure of working with such notables as Mike Bloomfield, Leon Russell, Jimmy Messina, and the late Jerry Garcia. Brewer & Shipley have kept up touring and recording regularly, and have been rewarded with renewed interest in their music. [less-]
