Colder gets older

Mar 07, 2010 11 Comments

Colder by the Lake‘s “Older by the Lake,” a comedy about aging, opens this Thursday night at Teatro Zuccone.

In the pic: Cathy Podeszwa, John Schmidt, Christa Schulz, Jack Setterlund and Gary Kruchowski. They guarantee the show will be “more fun than a barrel of reading glasses.”

This post is being published early on Sunday morning for a reason. The first person to write a comment on this wins two tickets to the opening night show (Thursday, March 11, 7:30 p.m.). It’s a reward for being up early on a Sunday and reading about oldness.

Oh, and don’t worry, the playbill is in large print.

“Thieves Like Us” is a feature-length action comedy (Jackie Chan style) made for about $3,200. There are two screenings at the Duluth Playground — March 5 and 6 at 7:30 pm.

The screenings will be followed by a Q&A with the director, Jarrod Crooks, and actor/producer Daniel Quaile of St. Paul-based Film Under 5, a production company with the goal of showing “that if you get creative, write a good story, and work your butt off, you can make a feature film for under $5,000.”

So, we were at Park Point on Sunday. It was pretty far away and after a 45 minute walk on the sand we finally realized what it was. Can you tell?

The final three performances of The Sparrow are this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. If you like cheerleaders, dodgeball, and/or pigs, you’ll love this show. If you don’t … you’ll like it anyway. We promise.

The show plays at 8 p.m. each night followed by a performance by Renegade Improv on Friday and Saturday at 10:30. Your ticket to The Sparrow will get you into both shows. Reserve your tickets at teatrozuccone.com or by calling (218) 336-1414.

Oeuvre Magazine calls it “a must see!,” and the Duluth News Tribune calls it “a dazzling theatrical experience unlike anything we have seen in town in recent years.” Come see for yourself!

Act 4, Scene 2 (by Berv and Dr. Thunder)

Feb 17, 2010 2 Comments

(In a small warehouse with a storage loft above, events happening in a slow-motion dream-like state)

Matt: (voiceover, thinking aloud) “As I did every afternoon, I was checking-in the days’ shipment we received from the wholesaler. I heard a rustle directly above me. I looked up into the bright fluorescent rafter lights, and a squeaky female voice cried out: ‘Hi, Matt!’ It was too late. Already in mid-air was Bonnie, my 300-pound stalker. She was falling toward me: prone, arms and legs outstretched, naked, and peeing. Splash. Darkness.”
