Fringe is how many weeks away???

2008-07-18T22:28:00.007-05:00

Where did the summer go? It seems like it just got here and now it's Fringe time already.

While Zealots & Mystics has produced our own shows for the past few Fringes, this year we're taking a different approach. We're producing Sarah LV Martin's one-person show, As If In Relief where she attempts to uncover the face of god, living, peanut butter sandwiches, and the freeing power of failure.

About Sarah:

Sarah has been acting for 13 years and story-telling (on stage) for about six months. It's the best thing she could think to do with a degree in English and Philosophy. She does lots of other stuff around town too, so if you see her at an open mic, gallery show or buying groceries you should stop and say hello. Sarah hopes you don't think the "LV" is too pretentious; she's afraid of being mistaken (again) for that other Sarah Martin. Sarah enjoys the slightly schizo undertone of writing her bio in the third person.

We're very pleased that Sarah will be at the Fringe this year and we encourage you all to come check out her show!

Coming in February at the Bryant Lake Bowl

2007-12-14T12:20:00.000-06:00

Next up for Zealots & Mystics will be the Twin Cities Chekhov Festival at the Bryant Lake Bowl in February 2008. We're performing two shows, Swan Song and On the Harmful Effects of Tobacco.

Swan Song was Chekhov's first vaudeville sketch and a wonderful example of his "tragicomic" writings. An aging actor, having fallen asleep after a performance, questions his talent and the choices he made in his life. Featuring Rick Fields and Eric Wood.

On the Harmful Effects of Tobacco
Chekhov originally wrote this piece in 1886 and during the next six years, he re-wrote it half a dozen times. The monologue ranges from comic to tragic as Ivan Ivanovitch Nyukhin delivers a lecture on the harmfulness of tobacco at the request, in a manner of speaking, of his wife. Featuring David Lind.

Swan Song

Sunday, Feb. 10 at 3 p.m.
Sunday, Feb. 17 at 6 p.m.
Saturday, Feb. 23 at 7 p.m.

On the Harmful Effects of Tobacco

Friday, Feb. 15 at 7 p.m.
Saturday, Feb. 16 at 7 p.m.
Sunday, Feb. 17 at 3 p.m.

The Twin Cities Chekhov Festival is made possible, in part, by funds provided by the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council through an appropriation by the Minnesota legislature.
