Everyone’s favorite cat lady returns with a hilariously delightful one-woman show like no other. Freshly traumatized from her appearance on America’s Got Talent!, Mrs. Smith is back with a jazzy, snazzy evening of story and song about the heart-stopping highs and perilous lows of fame, fortune and superstardom. Mrs. Smith and her famous Broadway Boys delve deep into her soul (and the Broadway songbook) to put her bizarre and indelible stamp on Great White Way favorites including: “Cabaret,” “There’s No Business Like Show Business,” “The Cat That Got Away” and “The Ladies Who Lunch.”

“Mrs. Smith takes it to a level that is genuinely breathtaking!” —MINNPOST

A show-stopping performance with her infamous Broadway Boys!” —WCCO

Storyteller, dancer, electric guitar wizard, there’s not much Mrs. Smith can’t do!” —TC DailyPlanet

“David Hanbury’s got a slew of exciting stuff in store, (Mrs Smith) basically tells her life story using the great American songbook as her soundtrack, with lots of dancing and other characters (and puppets!) to help the story along.” —City Pages

“While Mrs. Smith might look like a frumpy old church lady, she’s anything but. She sings (Nirvana tunes), she dances (well, sort of) and she plays electric guitar (seriously). ” —Star Tribune

Two dads struggle to coach their kids’ team through a Little League season of more errors (and laughs) than the ’62 Mets. Don (Tim Dybevik) is the macho veteran skipper whose will to win would make Lombardi cringe, and Michael (Pat O’Brien) is the milquetoast Canadian who just wants the kids to have fun. This Odd Couple of the Diamond go head to head in a season of exhilarating victories and heartbreaking defeats as they wrestle with what it means to be an American Dad.

Blaguard: (n) “an affectionate term for the rowdy outgoing and sometimes drinking sort boys” —Malachy McCourt

Under the direction of Peter Moore, Ross Young and Christopher Whiting star in A Couple of Blaguards, written by brothers Frank McCourt (author of bestsellers Angela’s Ashes and ‘Tis) and Malachy McCourt’s (author of A Monk Swimming).

A fast-paced, vaudevillian comedy based on the McCourt brothers’ combined experiences of growing up in Ireland and escaping to America, A Couple of Blagaurds is a bubbling stew of Irish storytelling with plenty of humor and poignancy to sharpen the flavor!

Bye Bye Liver returns! Pack up the bar, because it’s time for some fun in the sun as the Twin Cities’ Drinking Play takes on Spring Break.

Bye Bye Liver is a high octane comedy adventure centered around one of the Twin Cities’ favorite past times—drinking. With outrageous sketch comedies mixing drinks, interactive drinking games and male versus female inebriation, Bye Bye Liver is a play premised on the simple joys and complex consequences that indulging in a drink or two or three can bring.

The Bye Bye Liver casting calls on comedy stalwarts who are involved at such local enterprises as the Actor’s Theatre of Minnesota, Brave New Workshop Theatre, Stevie Ray’s Comedy Cabaret, Stages Theatre Company and the Fringe Festival, among others.

The hour-and-15-minute show premiered in Nashville and was originally created by producer, writer and director Byron Hatfield.

Star Tribune says, “Show has been knocking them back”
City Pages says, “A-list event!”
TC Daily Planet says, “Bye Bye Liver hits the sweet spot”!

Flanagan is dead, but don’t be sad because remembering his life is all about laughs! Back by popular demand, it’s Flanagan’s Wake, the hilarious, interactive Irish funeral. Come celebrate the life of our dear friend, Flanagan, by hoisting a pint and joining in on the tales that unfold.

Join the villagers of the beautiful Grapplin, County Sligo, Ireland, as they tell tales, sing songs and toast the memory of one of their own. Pay your respects to glowering Mother Flanagan and to the poor grieving fiancée, Fiona Finn. Listen to a eulogy written by County Sligo’s best-known writer, Mickey Finn, and tip a pint with Brian Ballybunion, himself a weaver of tales. Share memories of your own experiences and misadventures with dear, old Flanagan, or simply enjoy the stories and songs of the locals as they recall Flan’s life. Cross yourself with the blessings from St. Gregory’s parish priest, Father Damon Fitzgerald, or cross your fingers that local pagan Kathleen Mooney doesn’t cast a spell on you. Mayor Martin O’Doul will preside over the proceedings with an iron hand (and a parched throat) as he leads in grieving as only the Irish can.

Starring Tim Dybevik, Adam Fielitz, Madde Gibba, Brian Kelly, Heather Meyer, Ryan Nelson, and Stephen Pearce.

An absolute Camp Cabaret favorite, music and comedy legends Amy Armstrong and Freddy Allen will knock your socks off!

It’s Amy and Freddy’s 15th anniversary of performing together! Based out of Chicago, the duo has brought their one-of-a-kind wit and musical prowess to stages, both large and small, from coast-to-coast and in over 20 countries. They have had the pleasure of opening and sharing the spotlight with some familiar (and some not-so-familiar) names including Kathy Griffin, Mary Wilson and the Supremes, Phyllis Diller, Bea Arthur, Jennifer Holiday and Judy Gold to name a few. In 2009, Amy & Freddy were featured on national television on Entertainment Tonight as part of their work with the NBC reality show “America’s Got Talent.” They remain dedicated to their community involvement having presented numerous charity concerts over the years, raising over $15 million for LGTB charities worldwide.

Amy & Freddy have produced four successful and unique albums: Amy and Freddy—the debut, Life is a Cabaret, Naturally Flawless, and Feeling Good, praised by audiences and critics alike. They are also the proud multi-recipients of both the Gay Chicago Magazine “After Dark” and Chicago Free Press “Pressie” awards.

Comedy Roast of Mr. Scrooge. This Christmas, it will be Scrooge's chestnuts roasting over an open fire...

The Comedy Roast of Mr. Scrooge combines the oldest traditions from comedy—savagely mocking someone—and the holidays—imbibing in one too many ‘nogs and telling everyone what you really think. All the classic, beloved characters from A Christmas Carol finally get their chance to give Scrooge what’s coming to him in words that Charles Dickens never even knew.

Starring some of the Twin Cities’ funniest, Justine Carroll, Zach Coulter, Tim Dybevik, Adam Fielitz, John Haynes, Chris Knutson, JoNaie Villeneuve, Bill Young, and Rick Logan as Scrooge, this irreverent and raucous show is the perfect anecdote for those who prefer a little more spice and a little less nice to their holidays. This ain’t your average Christmas Carol!

“I had the best of times! Tis a far, far funnier thing than I did!” — Charles Dickens

“Exceeded even my expectations!” — Pip

“It was so funny, I peed my knickers!” — Mrs. Dickens

A Tuna Christmas

It’s 24 hours before Christmas and all comic hell is about to break loose in the town of Tuna, the “third-smallest” town in Texas where the Lion’s Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. In addition to the usual seasonal traumas that the holidays bring, a mysterious “Christmas Phantom” has been vandalizing the yard displays in the town’s annual Christmas Yard Display Contest, threatening to throw the contest into turmoil. And if that wasn’t trouble enough, the disaster-prone production of A Christmas Carol is falling apart!

Under the direction of Zach Curtis, Scott Jorgenson and Peter Simmons portray all 24 of the delightfully eccentric denizens of Tuna, Texas, in this irreverent, holiday follow-up to Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard’s Greater Tuna.

“A traditional rib tickler!” —Star Tribune
