An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet café. A stranger at the next table who has had enough. And a dead man – with a lot of loose ends. This wildly imaginative new comedy from MacArthur “Genius” Grant recipient and Pulitzer Prize finalist, Sarah Ruhl, will amuse, delight and move you. A work about how we memorialize the dead – and how that remembering changes us – it is the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world.
Renegade Theater Company and Lori Pietsch State Farm Insurance present Dead Man’s Cell Phone, opening this Thursday at Teatro Zuccone. The show runs Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays at 8 pm through May 1. For tickets, call 218-336-1414 or log on to www.teatrozuccone.com
In a couple of weeks, veteran naturalists Mike Link & Kate Crowley will embark on an 1800+ mile walk around Lake Superior to promote both freshwater conservation and the benefits of physical activity for good health. Their journey begins on April 29.
In the meantime, you can help them raise funds for their journey by attending the Full Circle Superior fundraiser at the Great Lakes Aquarium on April 16 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Music will be provided by the North Shore acoustic duo the Sivertones, and wine and cheese will be available. Guests may bid on items at the silent auction and purchase Full Circle Superior t-shirts.
Mike and Kate will give a brief presentation about their upcoming journey, and will also have time to chat with those who attend the event.
Sponsors of the event include Bellisio’s, the Great Lakes Aquarium, and Lake Superior Magazine.
There will be no charge for parking in the aquarium lot for the event.

The phrase, “Give your corner your left hand and back to your partner for the right and left grand,” may evoke painful memories of a junior high fitness class.
However – this Saturday at the Duluth Art Institute at 8pm the music will be very much live and the caller will certainly not be wearing a whistle.

St. Patrick’s Day, 1980. Quite a party in the West End.
Third week into Homegrown, get’s a little more evident every day. Gotta hand it to you kids. Great job. Only thing I would like to see is the old folks get playing to. They’re too late this year, but next year. Many of them can play too. It is amazing how much music is in this town.
