The Van Gogh Exhibit
Written & Directed by Matt Fotis
"Forget critical analysis of the brushstrokes and colors used to depict giant sunflowers and peculiar olive trees. This traveling art show is less about Van Gogh's paintings than what happens when his swirls are set in motion...The narrative itself takes the passenger seat as the idiosyncratic characters direct traffic...trying to work out where the shapes of marriage, sexuality, bus routes, politics and memories fit into one masterpiece." -Minneapolis Skyway News
-"What an ear for dialogue!" -mnartists.org
-"Highly quotable piece, smart, philosophical." -mnartists.org
-"A masterpiece." -Anna Pratt, Minneapolis News
-"Relationships are tenuous, vibrant things. 'The Van Gogh Exhibit' explores twelve of them with insight and wit." -mnartists.org
-"Versatile characters, brilliant dialogue twists, uncannily familiar. Fast paced, great writing." -Valerie Valentine, Freelance Minneapolis Writer
Be sure not to miss the play that was named by one Minneapolis publication as "The Pick of the 2004 Minnesota Fringe."
The Zebra Baby
by Matt Fotis
Directed by Jonathan Thomas
A young newlywed couple has just moved into their new home. But when talk of a baby arises, Greg's world is thrown into a bizarre time-warp where the most sane person just might be a kid who likes sandwiches.
Don't miss the play that won the 2002 Sonoma County Repertory Theatre's New Drama Works One-Act Play Award.
Tickets are $12-15 (see calendar below)
