Okay call me original, but once again I saw my favorite improv group on Friday, The Bearded Company, who do an improvised Dungeons and Dragons campaign called Swords and Sorcery (every Friday night at 7:30pm at HUGE Theater in Uptown.) Only one episode left!
Before improv, I hit up Waldoch Farm with Momma Ronda, my sister Madison, and my niece. It was actually SO dope. So much to do and at only $15, it was a bargain.
Performed for the last time in Improvised Twilight Zone at HUGE Theater. It was a great set to end my run. Aliens visited Winnie the Pooh memorabilist Mark Smalls and gave him an offer he couldn't refuse. This season, I came to love scene painting and playing aux characters, and I got to orchestrate an amazing last picture in the set.
My last performance was sad - the Twilight Zone show was the first consistent show I was cast in at HUGE Theater, and it is the last time I get to perform on the stage that has brought me so much joy the last 7 years. HUGE has become a happy place, a safe space, and one of my favorite places to be.
This weekend I was a storyteller in a ghost tour at Theatre in the Round. I told the story of "The Rose" and got to hang out in the costume storage, where there is apparently significant spirit activity. Thankfully I just told the stories and didn't see any ghosts myself.
On Sunday after rehearsal for The Wrench, I went straight to a birthday party for my (fake) nephew Ryder! His parents are some of my best friends, and Ryder is the coolest 5 year old I've ever met. I got my legs wet and burned my eyes with chlorine at the Inver Grove Heights Community Center.
Sunday night I went to a fancy fundraising dinner with my friend TJ. We worked together at the Kelley Farm and Mill City Museum and were in The Grange together, and now he is the director of the Maplewood Area Historical Society. I haven't seen him in so long and he's always a bougie delight.
